Data Conversion for Your CAFM or CMMS
Migrating Your Data
Many maintenance and facility management departments with an existing asset database face this dilemma: migrate the data into the new system or start from scratch and recreate the data. If your existing data is extensive, you will likely find that data conversion—migrating your electronic data into MicroMain XM™ or MicroMain FM™—saves you time, effort, and money.
MicroMain has provided data conversion services for 15 years, and we understand the apprehension surrounding this process. That's why we've developed a time-tested methodology for migrating data that is positive, successful, and cost-effective.
Who Will Benefit from Data Migration
MicroMain’s data migration service is intended for customers who already have asset information recorded in an electronic form. MicroMain can interpret many types of data formats from spreadsheets to relational databases.
What the Service Provides
Data analysis, needs analysis and development efforts are all part of the data migration service. The end result is a database that accurately represents your existing maintenance world and that sets the stage so your department can fully utilize MicroMain XM or MicroMain FM.
With MicroMain’s data conversion service, you will:
• Choose the data migration option that best meets your needs.
• Have input into the data loading process.
• Provide MicroMain with your specific data information including
data dictionary, data sizing, data examples, and unique item counts.
• Receive accurate data conversion accomplished in a timely manner.
• Be well prepared for a successful CMMS or CAFM implementation.
What the Steps Are in the Process
MicroMain will migrate your data through detailed analysis of your existing data, careful consideration of your future needs, and skilled development of the routines to move the data.
You start the process by providing us with a copy of your data. MicroMain professionals then analyze your data and define the optimal specifications to be followed for the data migration. You may be asked to provide insight into usage, documentation, and reporting of your current information.
Before proceeding with the data conversion, we will prepare a pilot—a subset of your data—for migration testing. After you review this pilot and verify the successful migration, we will complete the full loading of your maintenance data. The new database will be delivered to you, ready for installation.
