Data ConversionsThe data conversion plan is a vital part of the implementation. We have numerous staff experienced in conversions, so we prefer to take on the bulk of this effort and allow our customers to focus on other tasks. However, your participation is required as some of the tasks outline below. HistoryTo date we have successfully completed data conversions for California county offices of education, K-12 districts and junior colleges. These conversions have included full finance, HR, payroll and retirement data. We have completed successful data conversion projects from numerous school business systems. PlanEscape Technology uses standard SQL scripts and proprietary tools to convert historical data. For security purposes, all conversions must take place on the customer system. The conversion plan is a joint effort between the customer and Escape staff. Here is a brief list of typical tasks:
Of course, this plan is modified to the specific needs of each customer, and the data conversion is considered part of the overall project plan and managed like any other task within the project. Wrapping It UpAfter the data is “copied” to your Escape server, we perform additional conversions as needed. These “interim” conversions allow us to synchronize any necessary changes with your production database, and parallel test mission-critical processes. Near the end of the project, the Escape team comes to your site for the final conversion, training, and deployment.
