Data Conversion: Moving a Rock versus a Mountain
The “X” factor (or big unknown) in any services quote is data conversion. Companies often overlook this and end up with a big, fat bill they didn’t expect.
The most obvious way to minimize your costs for data con-version is bring into the new system only data you need to use often. Remember, even if you choose not to convert some data, you’re not losing it forever.
If you’d like to refer back to historical information such as invoices and AP history, you can keep hard copies of reports, or you can choose to keep the old system “alive” even after you switch to the new system.
To Save $ : One way to save money is to convert data from the old system at a summary level instead of a detailed level. For example, convert a summarized open invoice as BF figure for an entire month’s activities instead of bringing over open invoice entry for the month.
