Efficient data conversion is vital for a seamless transition to a new system and maximizing its benefits. With our expertise in preserving and migrating data into SERTICA, we ensure that your existing data is seamlessly transferred, allowing you to have a fully operational fleet management system right from the start.

With our experienced consultants specializing in data migration from diverse platforms like Microsoft SQL, Oracle, Sybase, Excel, and other asset management systems, we have the expertise to handle your specific requirements.

As a part of our service, we typically offer a test conversion for your approval and validation. The initial conversion of the first vessel may take longer as we collaborate with you to establish the appropriate format, method, and structure for the data transfer.

Data Cleaning: The importance of Data Quality

When converting data, it’s beneficial to consider cleaning opportunities. This can include simple tasks like removing outdated information or more complex ones, such as harmonizing items, components and maintenance data across the fleet.

Cleaning the data helps prevent inaccurate or low-quality information on the vessels. Although it may raise questions and take longer during conversion, investing time in data cleansing pays off in the long run.

Reliable data is crucial for centralized monitoring and control by the shore office, covering areas like parts catalogues, supplier/vendor details, and accounts.

We provide support in ensuring data consistency through continuous monitoring and control as part of our project management practices. This maintains the integrity and reliability of the converted data.

”We are quite experienced in this game of migrating data and we know that is a matter of time and skilled people – both from our side and the supplier. It turns out that RINA Digital Solutions is highly skilled, which results in the most efficient data migration I have experienced during my time at Stena RoRo.”
