MINDSPIRE DELTA
Data Migration Tool
A powerful, ready-to-use, and parameterizable data transformation and process management engine designed for the banking industry.

Extracting, Transforming and Loading data of banks using MINDSPIRE DELTA Data Migration Tool
DELTA was built to support our data migration projects in the banking and financial services industry, perfectly complementing our Banking Data Migration Services and proprietary banking data migration methodology.
Discover how MINDSPIRE Consulting’s universally applicable, platform and system independent, banking industry specific engine can speed up data migration processes, while reducing costs and ensuring data validity!
MINDSPIRE’s banking data migration experts have participated in more than fifteen large scale successfully delivered migration projects in Europe and are currently working on several major projects.
Facing the shortcomings and limitations of the existing standard data migration tools and processes, our ETL professionals have developed a custom solution designed for the specific requirements of banking data migration.
MINDSPIRE DELTA is capable of covering all aspects of the banking data migration process, ranging from small satellite banking solutions to complex core banking systems and full bank migrations.
Our banking data migration tool is continuously improved, tailored throughout the years for the data migration projects of the financial institutions.
By using MINDSPIRE DELTA Migration Tool we were able to significantly reduce the overall costs of the data migration projects for banks and financial institutions and speed up the entire process.
The powerful banking data migration engine’s features include loading, transforming, processing, validating, and controlling the entire ETL process.
Main challenges and risk associated with banking data migration
Facing a changing business and technological landscape and growing client expectations, banks constantly need to improve their systems and processes, upgrade their existing solutions, implement new software or hardware into their complex IT architecture, or replace their core banking systems. Also, following a merger and acquisition, the systems of the two institutions must be integrated.
Most of these activities include transferring large amounts of sensitive banking data from source to target systems. Although on the surface these seem to be standard ETL projects, usually the data to be migrated differ in format, overlap with each other, may contain duplicated data or even errors.
According to research, only 36% of data migration projects keep to the forecasted budget, and only 46% were delivered on-time.
Data migration projects performed by banks and financial institutions are not exempt, they entail significant amounts of risk, and many such projects suffer serious problems or fail.

Some of the common challenges that might occur during banking data migration projects
Insufficient internal resources: When the complexity of a banking data migration project is underestimated, it results in lack of manpower or unrealistic deadlines.
Unclear expectations: The exact requirements for the ETL tasks might not be well defined, which might lead to performing unnecessary tasks, or missing the critical steps.
Lack of proper tools: When the data migration team has no access to the right applications needed for the ETL project, the process will take significantly longer, and it will become error prone.
Unidentified data quality issues: The data migration team might not have a complete overview of the data sources, which might result in loading low quality data into the target banking systems.
Lack of collaboration between parties: Since data migrations for banks often involve several internal and external participants, without effective cooperation the project can easily go astray.
Inadequate testing: Due to insufficient resources or unrealistic deadlines validation of the banking data migration process might be limited, which in turn can lead to incomplete or inaccurate results in the target systems.
Introducing MINDSPIRE DELTA Banking Data Migration Tool
Our powerful data migration software is designed to cover the entire data migration processes of banks and financial institutions, including the following main phases
Loading Data
Easily stage and validate source data from any source banking system. Setup source structures, choose from predefined source data import methods, such as csv, xls, xlsx, db link, and more. Possibility to restructure source data to prepare for more effective and transparent transformation, using basic data cleansing functions. Filter source data based on business or data validation requirements defined by the bank.
Data Transformation
Setup target structures. Create every single transformation rule with a built-in powerful editor, containing many predefined functions. Build-in validations capabilities already in transformation rules. Test, preview and flexibly modify the rules. Use semi-automated version control and automatic documentation. Setup target banking data export methods, such as csv, xml, xls, xlsx, db link, and more. When needed, custom SQL codes can be inserted at any point of the transformation process.
Processing Data
Define even very complex data migration process often required by banks with the easy-to-use designer and select from predefined process steps. Optimize the execution with parallel processing.
Validate Data
Easily create a customized report or use any built-in template reports for data validation or process monitoring. Reports can be executed automatically within predefined or ad-hoc processes.
Controlling the Banking Data Migration process
Identify dependencies and design a fully automated data migration process, orchestrated, and monitored from a graphical interface. Even scheduled execution is possible containing automated notification functionalities providing up to date information about the progress. For each run an execution log is automatically created with the detailed results.
