MET/TEAM® data migration from MET/BASE

For many years, Fluke Calibration paired its industry leading MET/CAL® Calibration Management Software with the MET/BASE database. With the introduction of MET/TEAM Test Equipment Asset Management Software, we began to move toward a new, more flexible and powerful way to manage assets, which also includes a new MET/TEAM database.

The MET/BASE and MET/TEAM databases are quite different. If you are a MET/CAL or MET/TRACK software user who is moving to the new MET/TEAM software platform, you will likely need help to move from one database to another. We can provide that help with this service.

The MET/BASE-to-MET/TEAM database service allows you to move your MET/BASE data into your new database and get up and running smoothly. Here’s how it works:

1. You send your MET/BASE database to us, along with a completed data migration questionnaire. This step enables us to analyze the work to be done. It also gives us an opportunity to familiarize ourselves with your database.
2. We migrate your database into MET/TEAM and send it back to you. You can choose whether to include your complete calibration history or just the current active records.
3. You’ll have the opportunity to try out your MET/TEAM application, based on a mutually-agreed-upon schedule.
4. We’ll help you move customer-defined fields in MET/TRACK into the equivalent MET/TEAM fields and make any other necessary minor adjustments. You need to send a new version of your database so we have all of your current data. 
5. We will repeat steps 2 through 4 two additional times if necessary to complete the migration.
6. Fluke Calibration offers additional migration services to cover any specific needs not covered by these steps.
7. The completion of the migration service is independent of the customer's designated software go-live date.

Prerequisites

• You send your database and a completed data migration questionnaire to us before the migration begins.
• One or more of your team receives MET/TEAM training via videos, web seminar, scheduled Fluke Calibration class or onsite training. Training will help you gain the skills you’ll need to evaluate the migrated MET/TEAM database and understand if additional work needs to be done.

MET/TEAM® data import from non-MET/BASE databases

The MET/TEAM database import service lets you get non-MET/BASE data moved into your new MET/TEAM database and get up and running quickly and smoothly. Here’s how it works:

1. Fluke Calibration sends you a set of blank data templates.
2. You export data from your existing database into the provided templates.
3. You send your completed data templates to us.
4. We import your completed data templates and send a populated MET/TEAM database back to you.
5. You’ll have the opportunity to try out your MET/TEAM application, based on a mutually-agreed-upon schedule.
6. We’ll help you deal with data that went into “extended data,” to move customer-defined fields into the equivalent MET/TEAM fields and make any other necessary minor adjustments. You need to send a new version of your completed data templates so we have all of your current data.
7. We will repeat steps 2 through 6 two additional times if necessary to complete the import.
8. Fluke Calibration offers additional import services to cover any specific needs not covered by these steps.

Prerequisites

• You send completed data templates to us.
• One or more of your team receives MET/TEAM training via videos, web seminar, scheduled Fluke Calibration class or on-site training. Training will help you gain the skills you’ll need to evaluate the migrated MET/TEAM database and understand if additional work needs to be done.
