Database Conversion

We get a lot of inquiries from companies regarding database conversions. Many have their own internal IS Department but look to outsource the database conversion because it's not the most "exciting" development work today's programmers like to do.

While it may not be glamorous or fun, database conversion is still a job that needs to be done by all organizations. The professionals at DGCC.COM LLC recognize this and take pride in doing it well. Data needs to be converted many times over an organization's life time, as new applications and market forces require updated versions of data to make companies run more efficiently.

When do I need to do this?
If you're purchasing a new system or migrating to a new version of software, the older legacy systems need to have their data fed into the new system. Relational database systems that mandate data integrity need to have older, less stringent data "cleaned up"' before being put into the new database. Not only do we have years of experience in data clean-up, but we also fully understand the rules of having denormalized versus normalized data, thereby providing increased usefulness of the data.

How much is this going to cost?
There are a number of factors that would determine the amount of time (i.e. cost) of a particular conversion. Hopefully the legacy system has an export function by which you are able to export the data in ASCII format. (comma delimited, tab delimited, etc.)

Other factors we would need to know is whether the legacy system is a relational database or flat file, the number of records it currently has, and the integrity of the data. The process involves mapping the legacy database fields to the new, and then writing the scripts to do the conversion (our programmers usually do this in Visual Basic). These determinant factors make the cost of conversions vary. For further information, please contact us.

Database Clean Up

Database Cleanup can begin to become very "messy" due to typing errors, excess data from a long period of time, and from conversion of data from one application to another.
