Abstract
In conventional approaches to Systems Development the crucial task of the exercise, deployment figures almost, at the end! The performance of the developed software can only be realized if and only if, there is a database to interact with. Surprisingly, this slips the attention of system developers! The challenge of converting the existing manual system, of all, the database maintained in paper volumes to that of computerized version, is not well accounted for. However, mundane this task, Database Conversion Planning (DBCP), has a definite and dominant role to play in systems development. While handling several complex turnkey computerization projects, we are compelled to realize the criticality of DBCP. A careful consideration of these issues in the early stages of systems development has shown a multitude of benefits. As a result, we were able to deploy projects amidst several constraining and conflicting factors. The projects have won the appreciation of customers, of all, end-users. We would like to share the vision that had lead to the creation of these systems, where software and quality have only synonymous meaning! We finally wish that these thoughts will influence the practice of systems development or in general, software engineering.
