E-ISG Data Conversion Services Overview

Getting Started with Visual Asset Manager

E-ISG Data Conversion Service is a fully managed process that involves converting existing asset data, via a common file format (e.g. xls, txt or csv), to create an asset register with VAM.

We’re committed to helping you experience the benefits of real-time, Web-based Asset Management, so we offer data conversion services to enable quick import of your Asset information.

Data Integrity

Quality data is critical and E-ISG will consult with the client by telephone and email to correct any minor errors, wherever possible. Any major errors or omissions (e.g. capitalization dates, values, incorrect balances, etc.) that prevent the conversion from being completed will require the project to be suspended until the client supplies the corrected data. In such instances, the E-ISG Project Manager will advise the client of any additional days required for the data conversion and will agree a revised project plan.

Timeline

A standard data conversion will typically take 10 working days to complete. Conversions that involve complex rules or an unusually large number of files or records can take longer and this will be reflected in the project plan.

Multi Book Conversions

E-ISG specializes in fixed asset management. The E-ISG Project Manager will provide guidance on defining the essential (one-on-one) relationship between each asset and its associated accounting and tax information and this will be included in the data conversion document.

Should the client decide to incorporate additional books after the data conversion has started, the conversion will be put on hold until a revised time-estimate and new versions of both the project plan and the data conversion document have been agreed.

Historical Data

A valuable feature of EISGs comprehensive service is to include the direct conversion of any historical data (e.g. previous years depreciation charges) that can be supplied by the client. The potentially vast number of variables that may have contributed to such calculated values make it inadvisable to attempt replication and would usually add significantly to the days required.
