Preserve Your Past, Power Your Future: How DataSelf Bridges the Gap Between Legacy ERP and Sage Intacct
Upgrading from a legacy ERP to Sage Intacct is a smart move—modern systems bring better visibility, automation, and flexibility. But despite the excitement of moving forward, many organizations are uneasy about what will happen to their historical transaction data.
While your legacy system may be outdated, the insights it holds—customer buying trends, product lifecycles, regional performance—are still incredibly valuable. Losing access to that information can reduce strategic planning to guesswork. And trying to run duplicate reports from both systems and manually piece them together? That’s not just inefficient, it’s a setup for confusion and costly mistakes.
Thankfully, there’s a better way to move forward without leaving your past behind.
The Data Dilemma: Why Historical Insight Still Matters
Transitioning to Sage Intacct often means starting fresh with a clean, modern reporting system. But what about the years (or even decades) of data stored in your legacy ERP? If you want to answer questions like:
- How have customer preferences shifted over time?
- Are certain regions or products showing a growth or decline trend?
- What patterns from the past can help forecast the future?
Without your legacy data – questions like these will go unanswered.
The Solution: Blending Old and New with DataSelf Analytics
DataSelf’s automated data warehousing and ETL+ technology, which pulls and merges data from both the legacy and new ERP system into a single, easy-to-navigate analytics environment.
From there, data is filtered through your choice of top-level BI technology (such as Power BI, Tableau, Excel) to populate prebuilt dashboards, natural language queries, and trend analysis tools making it simple to find meaningful answers in <10 seconds.
Future-Ready Analytics, Backed by Historical Context
DataSelf’s technology doesn’t just copy your data over. It enhances it. With the industry’s first automated “dimension, fact, and time” (DFT) module, DataSelf preps both legacy and current data for powerful analytics—ensuring continuity, accuracy, and speed in every report.
And best of all? Once it’s set up, the process is seamless. Your historical insights live right alongside your live Sage Intacct data – available anytime, anywhere.
Ready to Take the Leap (Without Letting Go)?
If you’re planning a move to Sage Intacct but don’t want to lose the strategic goldmine in your legacy ERP, now’s the time to ask:
- Do we care about the insights locked in our old system?
- Do we need trend analysis to drive future decisions?
- Do we want a Business Intelligence application built on modern technology that never gets out of date?
- Do we want to take greater advantage of AI capabilities in our reporting and analytics?
If the answer is yes to any of these questions, DataSelf Analytics is the bridge you need. It transforms a typical ERP migration into a strategic upgrade – one that carries your business intelligence forward, instead of leaving it behind.
