| > | System Conversion Methods (parallel, direct, pilot, phased with advantages and disadvantages of each) |
|
|
|
| > | Planning |
|
| - | elements of an implementation plan |
|
| - | purpose, people, time frame, conversion method, site preparation, equipment requirements, determining costs, ordering of hardware, software, stationery, deadlines, staff etc |
|
| > | Requirements for site preparation including floor layout, wiring specifications and air conditioning if necessary. |
|
| > | Post-implementation review |
|
|
|
| > | Training |
|
| - | training programme required for data processing staff. |
|
| - | training programme required for users. |
|
|
|
| | |
| > | Data Preparation (including totals data transmission, record counts and initialisation of databases or master files). |
|
|
|
| > | Data Capture (With reference to economy of effort, time constraints, cost constraints and maximum accuracy of data). Capture of new data. |
|
|
|
| > | Data entry of existing data (including need for reformating). |
|
|
|
| > | Need for special equipment, stationery, staff and training in the data conversion process. |
|
|
|
| > | Controls necessary to ensure |
|
| - | data is as correct as possible before capture |
|
| - | all required data is captured once |
|
| - | any errors upon capture are identified |
|
| - | the correction of any errors is controlled |
|
| - | captured data is cross-checked against originals |
|
|
|
| > | Backup processes required during data conversion. |
|
|
|
| > | Post data conversion audit. |
|
|
|
| > | Need for security control during data conversion using suitable methods. |
|
|
|
| > | Software Tools used in the conversion process |
