Data Processing VS Data Conversion Service

Data drives most businesses, even if the way they handle it may vary from one to the other. Hence, comes in the need for data processing as well as data conversion services. However, the concept definitely varies for both processes.

“Data conversion” and “data processing”, even if considered as equivalent terms, the methodologies followed for both during data management services vary. Let’s take a look here to see what makes these different:

Data Processing Services: Data, as you know comes in raw, unstructured format, which needs to be analyzed, processed and organized into the valid, relevant and accurate data, so that it can be useful for various business processes. If left in its raw, unstructured format it will contain inaccurate, incomplete and irrelevant data, which cannot be used.

At the same time, with huge volume of data available from various offline as well as online sources, processing these to find the relevant data can be time consuming and a tiring process.

Meanwhile, some of the major aspects for data processing include:

· Validating the data to ensure that it is clean, precise and useful

· Organizing the data into various sequences, categories or varied sets

· Reducing the details of data into chief key points

· Collecting and combining various pieces of information

· Analyzing, interpreting and presenting data in the required form

· List the data details and summary

The various services under processing also include forms processing, order processing, insurance claim processing, credit card processing, survey/questionnaire processing, cheque and payments processing and so on.

Data Conversion Services: Now, you have seen how raw and unstructured data is processed and organized in to the relevant and valid data that can be used. However, one should also never forget that managing such huge volume of data can be daunting. Hence, the need to digitize the data, so that it can be easily managed, shared and accessed.

Data can be in varied formats and it can be converted to the required format, most suited for the business purpose. This is where, data conversion services come in handy. This process constitutes of transferring or modifying data from one physical format to the other.

It could encompass conversion of office document groups to conversion of images or audio files etc.

You have already seen here how managing such huge volume of data is a time consuming procedure. Processing and converting these data is fraught with challenges, which needs to be addressed properly. For this purpose, most of the companies seek to outsource data conversion and data processing services, so that they get quality service within a short span of time, even as it leaves businesses with the time to focus more on their core responsibilities.
