Short answer: Generally 1-4 months

Long answer: Depending on the complexity of your install, how much historical data is being migrated and how much customization you require we generally see customers go live in 1-4 months; after go-live there is typically a few weeks of loose ends to tie up, and there may be other phases that you decide to complete post go-live

Short answer: as much as you want.

Long answer: The strategy we use to migrate data allows us to consume and map as much data as we want without too much additional overhead. Sometimes customers prefer to only keep 3-5 years of data, however, if the old data has lots or inconsistencies or issues and they want a clean start.  Regardless, our goal is to convert your data in a way that the old data will look just like your live data when you are running reports

Short answer: Absolutely, but…

Long answer: One thing to consider is the internal resources you have available to get the data converted. Often this part of the project can be a heavy lift and the day-to-day gets in the way and creates a bottleneck.  Our goal is to get up to speed quickly on your business needs and leverage best practices and our expertise to speed the delivery of the new ERP.  However, we can also work with you and your team to make sure you have all the tools and guidance you need to convert and load your own data if you prefer

Short answer: No

Long answer: Often you will hear “it’s your data and you know it best” and you will receive an import template and some guidance on how to use it to move your data. Or they will bring in a third party to help, which creates an extra handoff between the design team and the data conversion resource.  With Madken Advisors, your project team will be able to handle both the design and the data migration.  This simplifies the process, reduced handoffs and delays and speeds up the project.

Short answer: Absolutely
