Migration: Custom database design, programming and problem solving

Data migration is the large-scale movement of data stored in one kind of system to another system. It's a complicated job. Data types may need conversion, dates may need conversion, data may need cleaning (especially addresses) and de-duplicating, and difficult questions have to be answered.

Q. What kind of projects need data migration?
A. Quite a few:
    moving from one inventory software to another moving from one point of sale system to another
    improving or upgrading a customer management system outgrowing a small, custom system
    adding a branch or another outlet changing accounting software
    moving from Excel to something that's more automated and less work

Q. Can I get references?
A. Of course. Email me and I'll send you a list.

Q. Can you handle large scale projects?
A. I have worked in Western Massachusetts since the mid-80's.  I maintain contacts with many of the programmers and systems professionals in the Pioneer Valley.

Q. What if I don't see my database on your list?
A. Contact me anyway. We may be able to figure it out; if not, I'm likely to know whom to call.

Q. I don't see my question in this list.
A. Email me.
