When considering the transition to a new ERP software, data migration often becomes a critical point for many companies. Concerns about data loss and the complexity of the process are aspects that require special attention.

But what are the expectations from the data migration procedure?

Fast, intuitive, and data integrity-focused

Speed, intuitiveness, and data integrity are elements expected from the data transfer procedure.

Speed in data import is essential to avoid prolonged interruptions in business operations.

Intuitiveness is equally crucial, as clear and accessible guidance significantly simplifies the process to ensure even those less familiar with data migration can navigate without difficulty.

Similarly, data integrity is fundamental to preserving the accuracy and consistency of information during the transition.

These features not only meet user expectations but are essential for an effective data migration process, reducing the risk of errors and ensuring a smooth transition between systems.

An assist from artificial intelligence

Among the many tasks where AI can help us in our work, there's also this: AI is at your service to interpret data and place it correctly.

You won't need long migration processes with countless corrections and checks. With So Smart, the only requirement is to have an Excel or CSV extraction ready to start the guided procedure. This will analyze your source file and allow you to map the data to the destination structure.

To further simplify, configuration templates are available for key entities, reducing the amount of information to set up. You can also choose between a simple or advanced migration, depending on your specific needs.

If you don't have an Excel or CSV extraction and prefer to avoid manual data entry, no worries. We'll provide you with an empty Excel template with a simple click.

Moreover, we offer the option to perform test migration several times in the educational environment for testing before transferring data to the production environment (the final one you will be working on).

But what entities can be migrated?

The list is very rich:

• Customer master data
