Legacy Conversion

Faqs

Legacy conversion refers to the process of moving data, operations, and functionalities from an outdated or inefficient system to a newer, more advanced system. This transition is crucial for several reasons:

  1. Enhanced Efficiency: Modern systems are developed with the latest technologies, offering faster processing times and more intuitive interfaces.

  2. Improved Compliance: New software systems are often designed to comply with current regulations and standards, helping your organization stay compliant.

  3. Better Data Management: Advanced systems provide superior data management capabilities, allowing for more accurate and accessible patient or customer information.

  4. Increased Productivity: With updated features and fewer system downtimes, employees can work more efficiently, significantly boosting productivity.

There are three primary methods of system conversion: direct conversion, phase-in conversion, and parallel conversion.

  • Direct Conversion: This approach involves completely switching from the old system to the new system at once. It’s fast but carries higher risk if the new system fails.

  • Phase-in Conversion: Here, the new system’s features are gradually implemented over time. It reduces risk but can prolong the total time to full implementation.

  • Parallel Conversion: Running both systems simultaneously for a period ensures the new system operates correctly before fully transitioning. It’s the safest method but can be resource-intensive.

Choosing the right method depends on your organization’s risk tolerance, resource availability, and how critical the system is to your daily operations.

AR Clean-Up is a critical component of the legacy conversion process, ensuring that your accounts receivable management doesn’t falter during the transition. It involves:

  • Reviewing and reconciling outstanding accounts receivable.

  • Identifying and correcting any discrepancies.

  • Streamlining collection processes to improve cash flow.

Implementing AR clean-up before, during, and after a legacy conversion helps maintain financial stability and ensures that your organization doesn’t lose track of owed revenues during the transition.

The main challenges of legacy conversion include data loss, system downtime, employee resistance to change, and budget overruns. To mitigate these challenges:

  1. Thorough Planning: Develop a detailed conversion plan that includes risk assessment and mitigation strategies.

  2. Data Backup: Ensure all data is backed up before beginning the conversion process to prevent loss.

  3. Employee Training: Invest in comprehensive training programs to reduce resistance and ease the transition for your staff.

  4. Budget Management: Allocate resources wisely and plan for unforeseen expenses to avoid budget overruns.

  • Expert Planning and Implementation: We offer strategic planning and implementation support to ensure a smooth transition.

  • Custom AR Clean-Up Projects: Our team tailors AR clean-up projects to fit your organization’s unique requirements, improving your cash flow and accounts receivable management.

By partnering with Wakefield, you can ensure that your legacy conversion and AR clean-up processes are managed effectively, allowing your staff to focus on learning the new system without fear of reduced collections or financial instability.

Planning, testing, and training are key phases that can affect the overall timeline. Engaging with a professional service like Wakefield can help streamline the process and reduce downtime.
