Do I Need Data Conversion?

Your decision to implement an automated data conversion process in your organization is one of fundamental business practice. In many cases, it can seem that a small amount of data can be re-typed with a minimum of expense and trouble. Maybe, maybe not. Manual re-entry of data is practical only under very specific circumstances. If the data you wish to migrate from one system to another is complex in structure, it can be difficult for a typist to keep track of the data entry, opening the door for typographical errors, omissions, and misinterpretations. If the source data is to be combined with other pieces of data from other sources during the conversion, a manual conversion becomes a difficult and time consuming task for the best of typists.

In many cases, the sheer volume of data can make a manual translation impractical. Retyping a data file with 100,000+ records is a daunting task for anyone, whereas an automated procedure can translate a typical 100,000 record data file in a few minutes.

In short, if you have substantial amounts of data to be moved from one environment to another, regardless of what environments they are, and whether you need the conversion on a one-time basis or periodically, Dayton Technologies DCS can provide an affordable, efficient and no-headache solution worth consideration.
