Transferring your important data across from legacy systems can often be frustrating and time consuming. A wide range of different formats; data inconsistencies; and information that doesn’t reconcile can often mean that converting data is the longest activity of the whole implementation process.

In order to make things as simple as possible and minimum the delay and subsequent catchup requirements, Fern provides a standard utility which enables data to be loaded from a text file or spreadsheet and has inbuilt validation checks that highlight data problems before it is imported.

Changing systems is often a chance to revisit customer or general ledger account codes, and our import routines therefore provide the ability to map an old code to a new one throughout all data files before it is imported into the new system.

We use multiple test company databases to produce reports and enquiries from imported data, enabling any last glitches in your legacy system to be resolved before the final data conversion takes place.
