6 Core Conversion Challenges

Don't go into your core conversion alone, get a helping hand from the experts at Arkatechture.

Data Integrity/Validity

Core data should be accurately and completely transferred from the old system to the new one. Discrepancies lead to operational issues and member dissatisfaction.

Data Mapping

Mapping data fields from the old system to the new one for dashboards & reports can be complex, especially if the systems use different data structures or formats.

Data Quality

Identifying and correcting errors, inconsistencies, and duplicates in the existing data before migration is essential. Clean data reduces the risk of issues post-conversion and gets you off to a fresh start.

Historical Data Capture

Deciding which historical data to migrate and how to handle it can be challenging. Migrating too much data can be costly and time-consuming, while not migrating enough can hinder operations and reporting.

Testing & Validation

Testing and validation are necessary to balance your loan portfolio and membership base before cutting over to your new core system. This includes running parallel operations to compare results from both systems.

Large Volume of Data

Managing the sheer volume of data to be migrated can be daunting. Large datasets require efficient strategies and tools to ensure timely and accurate migration without extended downtime.
