Moving a small school onto one platform with no downtime
A small independent school needed to consolidate disparate legacy systems onto one platform, with no in-house migration skills and no migration service from the new vendor.
The situation
The client, a small independent school, was moving from disparate legacy systems to a single consolidated platform.
What was at stake
The school didn’t have the skills in house to migrate its data, and the new platform’s vendor did not offer a data migration service.
What StatusNext did
StatusNext advised the school on extracting its accounting and CRM data, including records for students, parents, donors, and friends of the school. With those datasets in hand, StatusNext built processes to convert the data to fit the new platform’s data model.
What changed
The transition was smooth. There was no downtime, and the school onboarded the new system on time. StatusNext’s conversion processes saved the school hundreds of hours of manual data manipulation and took risk out of the go-live.
