This guide will assist you if you've purchased data migration to migrate your CODY data to Informant. To learn more about the data process overall, see Data migration process overview.


What files are needed for a CODY migration?


For a successful migration from CODY, we'll need the following files:


  • A backup copy of your CODY RMS database in Microsoft SQL Server format.


This file can be requested from your CODY representative, who will provide you with instructions for how to retrieve these files. Typically, CODY will put these files on a secure portable drive and mail the drive to your department.


Once you receive the file you can upload it to us using this guide: How to securely send files to our support team
