Post merger systems integration

This can be a nightmare for all involved - takeover planning rarely gets as far as the IT management involved and usually relies on the advice of the auditors. Getting the IT integration correct can be critical to delivering the benefits of integration:

• Systems compatibility between organisations may only be skin deep
• The systems involved may have many skeletons in their closet
• The skilled resources needed may have mixed motivations in ensuring the takeover is a success.
• The pick'n'mix approach to the choice of final systems tends to mean throwing the timetable out of the window.

Our consultants have seen all of the issues above and more - and their analysis of the data in both source and destination systems can help resolve a lot of the problems by "quanttfying" them in an objective way.

Document System Migration into Documentum

Rigel Systems' Consultants have a wide experience of DMS conversions from a variety of relational systems into Documentum object models including:

• document attribute and content transfer
• folder creation
• virtual document creation
• relationship creation.

We have developed libraries of DQL "corrective" routines for attribute audit, correction and assisting with conversion progress reporting etc.

Our consultants are specialists in prior releases of Documentum and have managed numerous upgrades with their associated data changes.

European Integration Projects

Pan-European organisations regularly centralise finance systems into one location - this can mean a steady stream of data conversions from a variety of smaller "office-based" systems. These sort of projects can bring their own challenges:

• Issues with character sets (special characters etc)
• Problems with long names (southern European countries have family names that can be extremely long)
• Systems documentation unavailable in English.

Our consultants have a wide experience of the sorts of problems encountered when converting small accounting systems data into a larger "head office" system".
