There are additional requirements for a conversion project:
Data mapping between systems – this ensures that the data is moved across according to the correct algorithms
Technical specifications associated with the mappings – you need to specify the extraction from the legacy system and
the upload to the new system
Data cleansing – this ensures the data being moved to the new system is correct and in the correct format
Systems Testing of both systems – to ensure that when the conversion is performed, the systems mesh together
correctly
Mock and Dress rehearsal testing – to give confidence that the conversion is working correctly and that everybody
knows what to do on the actual conversion day.
3-level reconciliation reporting –
Level 1: Horizontal reconciliation of key financials
Level 2: Horizontal reconciliation of key non-financials
Level 3: Vertical reconciliation of selected accounts
This ensures that data has been converted correctly, in line with the data mapping document, and retains its
integrity in the new system It also provides an audit trail of the high profile data within the system i.e. that which is most likely to
cause financial loss.
