Interface vs Data migration vs Data Conversion

Data Migration - is moving required and large volume of data from client's legacy/custom system to new system.

Data Conversion - is converting data from one structural form to another to suit the requirement of the system to which it is migrated.

Interface - are programs for connection between two systems in order to synchronize the data. These can be batch, real-time or manual. Used repeatedly so should be efficient. Can be triggered by an event to run as concurrent program or scheduled to run at certain time.

  1. data migration as a service solves the problem of transferring data without taking much time. I had moved a large amount of the data from one system to another one by taking help from the services offered by your data migration service providers.

  2. It offers a quick and easy way to move databases and virtual machines to Microsoft's Azure cloud service from either on-premises servers or other cloud services, such as Amazon Web Services.
