Two Phase Conversion Process
At Phoenix Information Systems, we take a different approach to data conversion services.
We understand that information is the key to success in any business
and converting information from one system to another should be done
with care to insure the best possible results. There are no
guarantees when converting data from application to application,
however, our Two Phase Conversion Process reduces the opportunity
for surprise. This process gives you the chance to review the
information before utilizing the data in your daily operations.
1. To begin this process, we
obtain a copy of your data and program files. We can restore
information from a variety of tape drives, zip drives and floppies.
2. When your data is received,
our product support team goes to work restoring your data onto our
system. Note: Your data is 100% safe with us. Once the
conversion is complete, we return or destroy the information from
your store. We do not retain a copy of your information.
3. We then create reports
and spool them to disk so that our data conversion team can begin
writing programs to convert your old data to the CVS or TURNS
format.
4. Once the data conversion is
performed, we send you a copy of the pre-converted data for review.
5. You load the data onto a
computer, along with the CVS or TURNS POS software, and begin
reviewing your pre-converted data.
6. If you find there are
changes you would like, you simply contact our product support team.
Our team will go over the changes with you and discuss what the
possibilities are and forward the information to our data conversion
staff.
7. Our programmers will make
the possible changes that you request and send you a copy of the
revised data.
8. At this point, you should
review the information again, be sure to take the time to go over
the same items you did in the first check. These last four
steps may be repeated as many times as necessary to finalize
your conversion.
9. Once you are satisfied with
the information that will be retrieved, you may schedule a live
conversion. We have many customers going live with data each
week, so it is important that we schedule our resources to be
available to you when you are ready to go live.
10. You send another backup of your
system (overnight service or via modem) to arrive on your scheduled
conversion day.
11. We convert your data
utilizing the programs and configurations used in the last
pre-convert.
12. We ship you the data
overnight or place it on our BBS for download via modem.
13. You install the data onto
your system and begin using the industry’s best point-of-sale
program.
