CobbleStone Systems offers several different approaches to importing
your organization's data into our solutions. With each of these import
options, you can rest assured that your data is "in good hands". We offer
data importation professional services as well as in-line importing
capabilities within many areas of our systems. All of our data import
services are designed and tested from the ground up for their upmost
compatibility and reliability.
Professional Services
Our professional services offerings for data importation are modeled off
of our extensively built implementation processes. Our data importation
specialists will properly and systematically assist your organization in
gathering the necessary information to import into your new system, ensuring
proper formatting and error checking throughout. In addition, our
specialists will assist you in "massaging" your data to fit your needs in
an effort to minimize any concerns about downtime and accuracy.
These professional services are part of CobbleStone Systems' rapid deployment
methodology options. More information on our methodology can be found
here.
In-Line Importing
Our Contract Insight solutions offer many different areas in-line in the
system to perform specific data imports. In each of these areas, a CSV
file can be imported into the system subject to the guidelines set out
in the user manual. These in-line imports are provided to facilitate
bulk imports of data that your organization may need to perform.
While these in-line importation areas are not strictly associated with
our rapid deployment methodology, they are provided to ease your
organization's needs to import data if you choose to.
Additional Importation Methods
In addition to professional services and in-line, our systems provide two
specialized options; Direct database imports and importing via web
services. Both of these options are noted as specialized because they
are viable only through specific deployment options and require minor to
major technical knowledge within your organization.
Our direct database imports are geared towards clients who select the
client deployed implementation options. Direct database means importing
your data directly into our systems' SQL database. In order to accurately
execute these types of imports, your organization will need a staff member
knowledgeable in MS-SQL database management.
Our web services imports, while not geared towards a specific deployment
options, are extremely technical in nature. Through this option, CobbleStone
provides your organization with the ability to tie into our systems to
interact with it. While the web services are provided,
your organization will need the technical knowledge to integrate with them.
Information regarding this option can be found in our user and web services
manuals.
In addition, both of these additional importation methods can be performed
or assisted by our data importation specialists through professional
services.
