The Importance of Data Mapping in System Integration

Data mapping is a core component of any large data migration project, and precision is key to the process. Today, we’d like to talk about our approach to data mapping and why we see it as a core part of any system integration.

Tailored System Integration

System integration is an inherently customised service because it requires a solid understanding of both old and new systems. Put simply, you need a team who know their principles and are going to put the time and effort into understanding how your system differs from others.

Data mapping is the most fundamental part of that step. It’s the process by which we establish computational rules that will accurately transform the structure of your data so that it can more easily be processed by the new system. In order to design those computational rules, we need to account for many possible edge cases, testing the system before putting it into action.

Working With Clients

Here at Adetiq, we always take the time to understand our clients’ systems, but that doesn’t mean we’re above taking comments, advice, and feedback. While we may be the experts in reliable, principled data migration, nobody knows more about your system than you do.

That’s why we always endeavour to work with our clients, asking the right questions as we go and making as few assumptions as possible.

Automated and Manual Document Processing

It’s easy to assume that an automated system will always be the fastest and most effective way to solve a problem, but when it comes to data, this is not always the case. While our proprietary technologies are excellent at efficiently handling the bulk of the work, there are always some documents or sets of unstructured data that require manual oversight and transfer.

Our experienced, UK-based team is always ready to handle such documents if the need arises, taking a results-oriented approach rather than attempting to use a one-size-fits-all solution.

Secure Data Mapping

Lastly, we’d like to take a moment to touch on the importance of security in data mapping. One of the biggest dangers of migration is that a significant amount of data will be exposed at once, potentially opening up numerous opportunities for security breaches. As such, we always follow the latest in data security best practices to ensure we’re never putting your data or your customers’ data at risk.
