2. Implementation Timeline
3. Implementation Timeline
4. Implementation Timeline
5. Data Tasks Types of Data Migration
Cutover style
Use one data base to back up everything you think you need, and then switch over to the new system (not recommended if you are doing this for the first time)
Pro: Saves money because you don’t have to pay for 2 databases
Con: Can’t turn back. If you have data problems you will need to deal with them
Incremental
Start with one school site and move on to other school sites
Pro: Slow move gives time to fix errors and fix the system
Con: Learning curve
Parallel
You have 2 databases running, for example Data Director and illuminate
Pro: You have time to check your data and use old database as back-up if you have problems
Con: Most expensive option (Many do not use this option)
6. Planning Questions to ask
What do we need to back-up?
Local testing, teacher quizzes, District testing?
What data is important?
Do we bring back one year or more?
What data is needed to run reports so this new system can help our school sites/District?
Input from users
Illuminate Advisory Group
Teachers, principals give input on what they would like seen in the new system.
7. Implementation/Testing Goal
To have a working data system when the switchover occurs without disruptions.
Setup
Begin loading data from Aeries
Re-create test/assessments to move over
Account set-up (principals/teachers/district administrators)
Validation
Check data from Aeries
Make sure student information is correct (roster, schedule, demographic)
Check state data
Results in IlluminateEd should be the same as your current student information system.
Test pre-built reports on state data.
