CemSites supports phased migration for mortuaries transitioning from paper records or from a legacy digital system. The platform does not require the entire historical archive to be digitized before it becomes operational for current cases. New cases can be created natively in the system immediately, and historical records can be scanned and indexed in batches, prioritized by how frequently they are accessed or by how recently the cases were closed.
CemSites can advise on migration strategy during the evaluation process, including how other mortuaries of similar size and case volume have structured their transitions. The goal is a migration plan that fits the facility’s staff capacity and budget, not a requirement to complete a massive digitization project before the software delivers any value. Most facilities see the operational benefit within the first week of using the platform for new cases, with the historical migration running in parallel over whatever timeline makes sense.
