The effort to convert from system x to system y can sometimes be very complex and can look like the underground piping system of the New York City subway. Data conversions require that business analysts have a lot of information at their disposal to facilitate workshops and make informed decisions. This is where the consultants package has proven incredibly valuable.
The Consultants Package supports the mapping analysts by helping to organize the project and giving them the tools and power to educate the project team about the data modeling requirements. It allows the analysts to choose structures to map, and run meetings. With the Consultants Package, you don’t have to be an Alchemize expert. It’ll keep the project flowing and give SMEs, business owners, and other team members with a diverse range of skills a clear picture of what may be happening “under the hood.”
Every consultant package is created by Alchemize and is also ingested to create the complex structures needed to load a system. This organizes and saves time in an interactive process by allowing team members to work in a tool such as Excel, that most are very familiar with.
The consultants package and the methodology allow for an analyst to remain an analyst without having to get too deep into the technical details. The consultants package allows the analyst to work in a familiar environment (MS Excel). At this point, he can send the consultants package to an Alchemize data engineer who can upload the file and load the data for a test. It really speeds up the process.
