Organisati­ons can move data more quickly and effectivel­y thanks to an innovative new software product, developed in Sunderland.

City communicat­ions and systems specialist Cellular Solutions has launched Migrator, which promises to revolution­ise data transfer for businesses.

The cloud-based solution allows data from multiple sources and different file types to be quickly and easily interprete­d and uploaded to finance and CRM systems such as Sage CRM, Sage 50c and Sage 200c through a single portal.

Migrator has been designed to be used on multiple devices and platforms, and data can either be uploaded using automatic scheduling or manually, through a user accessing the system – for instance via a laptop – and uploading data instantly through an online portal.

The product allows for visible data transfer and quickly identifies errors, enabling users to correct them and ensure that accurate informatio­n is uploaded more rapidly.

Cellular Solutions worked with Sunderland University on the project.

Director of business systems Derek Curtis said: “The product has huge potential and its ability to provide a simple, cost effective method of transferri­ng data to Sage software will make a major impact for businesses – especially those whose operations regularly involve collecting, collating and accessing large amounts of complex data.

“The Knowledge Transfer Partnershi­p with Sunderland University has been a key factor in the creation of Migrator and is an excellent example of how the private sector can work with higher education institutio­ns to shape innovative new solutions.”

Steve Knight, university chief operating officer, said: “Our Knowledge Transfer Partnershi­p with Cellular Solutions was rated ‘Outstandin­g’ by Innovate UK.

“It was an excellent opportunit­y for staff to engage with the industry and test their experience and their knowledge. The programme aims to help businesses improve competitiv­eness and productivi­ty through the better use of knowledge, technology and skills within the university.”
