Data Conversion Features
The process of data conversion follows ETL categories
Extract
This Extract step involves identifying the data from its original source.
This is most often in a database, application, PDF, or even in paper format.
We view the extraction process in two ways:
- Identify the data required.
- Load it into a workspace (often a database like Excel, Sql, etc.) so you can use it.
Transform
This step involves taking the data that you extracted in the Extract step and making it useful. This step involves:
- cleaning up the data
- combining the extracted data with other data
- comparing the data with certain business rules
- removing duplicate data, etc.
Basically, this step involves transforming the data for preparation to fulfill the main requirements of the project.
Load
Once you have the data extracted and transformed, present the data for use. This load part of the project can also be considered a “presentation” step. There are multiple ways we handle this step:
- Present it as an electronic database, excel, or text files for someone else to load into their application.
- Present it in a report format, like a PDF or for use in printing.
- Have us integrate this data into a database.
