How can an administrator reassure a client that Advanced Account Forecast calculations are accurate after data migration?

The process of launching calculations and comparing results with the legacy system serves as a direct and effective way to verify the accuracy of Advanced Account Forecast calculations after data migration. This method allows the administrator to actively re-calculate forecasts based on the newly migrated data and cross-check these results against the outputs from the legacy system.

This approach provides a clear validation method because it utilizes the same forecasting algorithms and methods as the legacy system, ensuring that any discrepancies can be immediately identified. By confirming that the newer calculations are consistent with established results, the administrator can instill confidence in the client regarding the integrity of the new forecasting system.

Other methods, while potentially useful, do not offer the same level of direct verification. For example, generating a report using Data Loader, requesting users to verify their accounts, or conducting a general system audit may provide some insights or identify issues, but they do not directly compare the forecasting calculations from the migrated data with the legacy system’s results. These alternatives might miss specific errors or discrepancies that would only be apparent through a direct comparison of forecast results.
