After years of converting different systems, performing numerous data migrations and hearing of too many conversion horror stories, we knew there was a better way.

Traditionally, conversions within an organisation are rare, risky and expensive. Organisations tend to experience them in isolation with little internal conversion experience.

Where is the greatest amount of time spent in a conversion?
The development of custom conversion code for data migration.

Why does this tend to be so expensive?
Traditional software development life cycles and models are applied when they do not need to be.

Why are these traditional methods used if there is a better way?
Lack of experience. Comfort in what has worked in the past.
