Abstract

Enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems integrate various business processes and functions into a unified system. A critical step in any ERP implementation is data conversion, which involves migrating data from legacy systems into the new ERP system. This research paper examines different data conversion strategies and best practices for ERP implementations. The key data conversion strategies analyzed include direct data conversion, phased data conversion, parallel data conversion, and automated data conversion tools. The paper outlines the pros and cons of each approach and provides recommendations for selecting the optimal data conversion methodology based on factors like project scope, data complexity, resource availability, and time constraints. The research finds that using automated tools and a phased conversion approach is generally the least disruptive and most efficient method for most ERP data migration initiatives. Following best practices like data cleansing, testing, and cutover planning is also essential for minimizing risks and ensuring a smooth transition to the new system. This research provides guidance for organizations undertaking ERP implementations on how to choose and execute data conversion in a way that maximizes benefits and minimizes costs and risks.
