Approach
The existing manual step is rebuilt exactly: which file, which columns, which transformations, which destination.
Where the systems offer interfaces, the data is even transferred fully automatically; otherwise there is a file ready to import.
Every run is checked and, on request, logged. If a value falls outside the expected range, a message goes out at once so the error does not go unnoticed.
That is how a program does the work of hours in seconds.
What drives the effort
- Whether the systems involved have interfaces or only produce files
- How many transformations and special cases the manual step holds today
- How often the sync should run

When it is not worth it
If the export runs once a month and is done in ten minutes, a good checklist is the better investment.
Common questions
- What if a system changes its format?
Then the run fails and says so, instead of passing on wrong data. The fix is usually small.
- Do we need our own server for this?
Not necessarily. Syncs like this often run as a small service in an existing environment or directly within Office. Hosting and monitoring are available on request.
