The Migration Process

Below is an outline of the technical process. The steps vary slightly depending on how your school currently imports data into Reading Cloud.

For Schools Using Automated Wonde Sync:

1.Schedule & Pause: We will work with you to agree on a migration window. At the agreed time, we will pause the automated data sync from your old MIS via Wonde.

2.Data Preparation: Our team will then remove the existing student MSIDs from your Reading Cloud system. This is a critical step to prevent the duplication of student records when we connect to your new MIS.

3.New Sync & Validation: We will then establish the new sync with your new MIS and run the import. Our team will check the newly imported data to ensure it is valid and complete, matching all Newly Imported Data to their existing Borrower Records.


For Schools Using Manual CSV Imports:

1.Data Preparation: Before you perform your first import from your new MIS, our team will need to remove the existing student MSIDs from your Reading Cloud system. This is a critical step to prevent the duplication of student records.

2.Assisted Import: We will then assist you with your first manual CSV import from the new MIS to ensure the data is correctly formatted and that the import is successful.

If you currently use the Manual CSV option but would like to move to the Automated Process, please access the below link to our Product page and submit the Order Form.
