Transfer cleansed data into a new system or data source

Data migrations occur when computer systems change or upgrade to new systems, or when systems merge (such as when the organizations that use them undergo a merger or takeover). Effectively migrating data requires extracting data from existing systems, mapping data from an old system to the new, loading the data into the new system, and then verifying the data in the new system to ensure it was accurately translated, is complete, and supports processes in the new system.

Automated data migration allows an organization to improve data quality, eliminate redundant or obsolete information, and match the requirements of the new system. Further, an automated data migration cleanup often eliminates the amount of times the process (design, extraction, cleansing, load, and verification) is repeated, saving time and resources for the project.

Initiate Data Migration^SM Services provides a proven set of tools and methodologies that will save you time and money when implementing an automated data migration strategy. The professional Initiate Systems' services team works with our organization to gathers requirements from source data, then, using Initiate^® software, compares all data and accurately matches and links records within a data source or across the multiple sources. The extremely accurate matching and linking engine of Initiate provides you with a clean, consistent, high quality set of data while eliminating the need for multiple migrations to “get it right.”

• Eliminate multiple migrations – Accurately mapping, matching and linking data reduces the amount of times the migration process needs to be executed, saving time and money.
• Clean your data beyond the migration – Initiate software also allows you to improve data quality while performing a migration. For example, addresses may be corrected or reference data validated.
• Increase migration success – A clean and consistent set of migrated data will improve the functionality of the new system and increase likelihood of adoption.
