Data Ready to Launch

Students working in a computer lab

Moran gets your data on track from assessment through conversion to go-live.

Is Your Data Ready for This?

You’re moving toward a major system implementation and data is on the list. But with competing priorities and a fast-moving timeline, it’s hard to know where to start or how deep data issues might run. Platform vendors handle migration but not the underlying data quality and conversion issues that tend to cause the most disruption.

Moran’s data readiness isn’t a single task. It runs from early risk identification through conversion execution all the way to go-live validation so your team can arrive at go-live with confidence.

How We Make It Happen

Data problems that show up late, like when it’s time to convert and move the data, become costly and disruptive. Moran’s structured approach helps institutions find and address data issues early to enable smooth system implementations, advanced AI tools, and data-driven decision-making.

Moran’s readiness and conversion services can be provided separately but are intentionally designed to build on each other.

  • Data Readiness Assessment

    Workshops and exploratory sessions surface potential data issues, quantify risks, and produce actionable recommendations before implementation begins. Replace vague concerns about bad data with a documented, prioritized picture of what needs attention

  • Data Readiness Program

    Establish the data conversion architecture, metadata tables, lookup tables, quality dashboards, and internal processes so your team can execute conversion with confidence when implementation begins

  • Data Conversion Execution

    Moran provides experienced resources to map, extract, build, and facilitate the entire data conversion process alongside your team and the system integrator if you need capacity or expertise support

  • Data Conversion Advisory

    Get targeted guidance, root cause analysis, and decision support for specific conversion challenges mid-implementation

  • Automated Data Reconciliation

    Validate your converted data with automated, source-to-target comparison and reporting, giving you the documented confidence needed for go-live

  • Moran provided an excellent overview reflecting the work both Moran’s and our team have driven together. The feedback from my team was genuinely positive, and we could not have gotten here without Moran’s guidance, expertise, project oversight, and openness to feedback. Moran delivered a thoughtful, well-structured roadmap that clearly ties together governance, lifecycle, data abstraction layer considerations, with a strong focus on keeping it actionable.

    Private University Chief Information Security Officer
  • Moran brought the strategic insight we needed to build an infrastructure roadmap that aligns perfectly with our academic and operational goals. The roadmap they developed with us has become a cornerstone of our IT planning and a key communication tool with campus leadership. Their collaborative approach helped us create a clear, actionable roadmap that guided our infrastructure investments for the last five years.

  • Cybersecurity strategy evolves rapidly with emerging threats and as a small university with no dedicated cybersecurity staff, most of our efforts were still focused solely on protection and prevention. The Moran Cybersecurity team used the NIST CSF 2.0 as a tool to teach us what’s expected of a mature cybersecurity program and give us a roadmap to build a comprehensive program — all while demonstrating a nuanced understanding of the unique challenges small universities face.
