Software conversion also known as computer migration, data migration or software migration is the copying of files from one computer to another computer, usually a newer version. And so, because the user does not want to lose the data and application stored on the “host” computer, they copy the necessary files and applications that are needed. Software conversion can be accomplished by use of an external storage medium such as an external hard disk. However, imagine that you have been asked to transfer data and application of an entire company to the newer machines. That would require more space than the common hard disks can contains. Therefore, looking ahead, certain companies saw this problem and solved it by providing internet storage. This assists users to accomplish software conversion by allowing the needed data and programs to be sent online to a protected server, and so after the machines are changed, they data is downloaded into the new systems. Another method involves using a data cable connection when one needs to perform a software conversion. All the user is required to do is either to send the data to the new computer on a network, or backup the data on the organization’s server (if one is present) then restore it accordingly. Sometimes, a software conversion becomes an unnecessary mission in that the machines that are being upgraded to already come with the necessary programs. However, there are several files perhaps that the user still requires, and so there is less that needs to be moved. If any applications, never the less, there may be a few programs the user needs...

System integration, also simply known as SI, is the process of putting in a new system, which can still relate and communicate with the previous system or systems, be it, or they, simple or exceedingly complicated. System integration is an arduous process, which needs a lot of setting up and development, and an implementation and optimization phase. The one objective of System integration is to solve the problems that are experienced, which cannot be solved by the existing systems. Examples of the different types of System integration are management system integration, business system integration and even software system integration. When attempting to apply software system integration, the work the current system does is first established, that is, the problems that the current system solves. When the shortcomings of the system in relation to the problem solving area are discovered, the designers of the new system must then justify how the system they wish to introduce will aid and whether it is financially viable. The new system must create profits for the organisation or at least stem losses. Management system integration brings to light new methods to reach objectives and makes use of untapped potential the previous system could not originally make use of. For example, providing wireless services to the staff that is on the field, allow for timely feedback, for example if a survey in a remote area. In this way the decision makers can make quick verdicts to the direction they should follow. This form system integration is both effective and efficient. To have your system improved as a business, all you have to do is submit...

Software migration, also known as computer migration, data migration or Personal Computer (PC) migration is moving the data and applications from one computer to another. The reasons can be because the user has either purchased a new computer, or the computers at the workplace have been upgraded to new systems. Due to the importance, or difficulty of replacing the original files and programs, the user prefer to have everything go with them to the new machine or system. Usually software migration can be done manually using software tools specific for this operation, over a data transfer cable, the link between the two computers. More often than not, full transfer of all the data and software from the source to the destination machine is not entirely necessary. Software migration in the above mentioned fashion can be entirely avoided by making use of external storage devices that will manage to store all the necessary data. Other organizations provide an internet solution for software migration, in that they allow for internet storage. This means instead of using an external hard disk for example, the user will use the internet to keep all the necessary information, and then download it onto the new machine. This removes the need for a full software migration. However, these methods do not work in the business environment. This is because some software has its necessary files in sections of the hard disk that cannot be accessed by users for one reason or another. This would result in the application reverting to the default settings, or completely malfunctioning, resulting in the need to reinstall. Files, for instance registry...
