Data conversion is the process of transforming data from one format to another. While the definition of data conversion may be straightforward, the process itself isn’t. Converting data can be a challenging process; it involves extracting data from its original source, transforming the data into the desired format, and finally, loading the data into a new location.

An example of data conversion would be taking data from a pension organization’s legacy system, transforming the data to the appropriate format, then loading it into a new line-of-business solution.

Data cleansing, also known as data scrubbing, is the process of “cleaning up” data. A data cleanse involves the rectification or deletion of outdated, incorrect, redundant, or incomplete data from a database. The goal of data cleansing is to make sure that the information contained within a database is accurate and complete.

An example of data cleansing would be taking data from a pension organization’s legacy system, then running a data-cleansing tool to identify duplicate records to correct the redundancies.
