3 Data Setup/Conversion

This topic provides information on the data setup or conversion.

Though this document is at a broad level, the Data Conversion Strategy document can supplement this. This can simply be a link doc to the details. Two major sets of tasks are carried out during this milestone:

• Set up of static data ( Entities, Loads, Funds, etc. )
• Take on of past transaction data in case of existing funds. This will not be applicable in case of funds which are starting fresh.

The above can be achieved either by manually entering the information into the system or through an automation process.

A decision on which method to use depends primarily on the volume of data to be taken into the system.

The activities involved under this stage are as follows:

• Data Preparation
• Preparation of program for automated data take on ( not required in the case of a manual take on )
• Data take on
• User Acceptance Test (UAT)
• Parallel Run
• Live Cut over and Post Live on site Support
