DATA MIGRATION
. . .and GDPR cleaning
Data migration is the process of selecting, preparing and extracting data in order to either; transfer them from one computer storage system to another or, transform the format of records to ensure compatibility with a different database application.
For example; when moving a critical business application from a traditional, premises based, data center to public cloud servers, CALLTECH can prevent potential data loss by adapting all records in line with each computing environment's data models and configuration.
[ BONUS: data migration case study ]The primary aim of this project was to consolidate legacy data that had accumulated in several disparate databases, some of which were non-relational, into PostgreSQL on a cloud-based VPS (Virtual Private Server ). CALLTECH also authored a library of queries, designed to meet the client's evolving administrative needs.
General Data Protection Regulations:
Under the terms of GDPR, customers have the right to receive a report detailing any personally identifiable data being held and, if appropriate, to request its deletion. For this client, all responses to such on-going requests are actioned by CALLTECH and the database cleaned accordingly.
Cost reference; An initial fee of £900 was levied to design and set up the new cloud database, then to transpose and migrate all existing data. This project, with extended business hours support access, is billed at £240 per month on Standing Order.
