It reads what you already have
A competitor’s exports, a database, spreadsheets with formulas, PDF forms, Word documents, or the paper you scan. Bring the source you have, not the source we wanted.
Covalent · Migration engine
Every customer gets it
From "this looks great" to "this works great."
Covalent is the tool that gets you from picking DLBD to actually running on it, in a reasonable amount of time. It acts as an interpreter for your existing system — reading what you already have and converting it properly, automatically — so switching to DLBD does not turn into another months-to-years migration project.
Who Covalent is for
The prospect who liked the demo, then flinched at the migration.
Thinking of switching providers, but the thought of another months-to-years migration project makes it feel too daunting to start? That is who Covalent is for. Been through a messy platform migration before? Covalent is that memory’s answer. It is the tool that closes the gap between deciding on DLBD and actually running on it — the part every other vendor turns into a professional-services line item and a launch date that keeps sliding.
What Covalent does
An interpreter for the system you already run.
Point Covalent at what you have today — a competing platform, a database export, spreadsheets, the paper you scan — and it reads it in the shape it was written. Covalent translates that into the DLBD equivalent automatically: right field, right unit, right meaning. Your subject-matter expert reviews and adjusts what the interpreter proposed, in a real UI with a live preview, and lands data you can trust.
Automatic first pass
Covalent proposes the mapping — target field, unit, meaning — from your source columns before anyone sits in a meeting. Your team reviews, not writes from scratch.
Your team stays in the driver’s seat
The final mapping is your SME’s call, made in a UI with a live per-row preview. No handing us a spreadsheet and waiting weeks for a vendor round-trip.
Every row remembers where it came from
Every landed row keeps a link to the source it converted from. If a value is ever questioned, the answer is one click, forever.
Why it wins
The reason DLBD closes when the incumbent stalls.
Every other vendor treats migration as a cost line the customer pays and a project that runs long. Covalent treats it as the shortest, safest path from "we picked you" to "we are running on you." That difference is the reason a bake-off in month one becomes a live customer in month three, not month twelve.
What is in Covalent
Every migration ships on the same rails.
-
It reads what you already have
Spreadsheets with formulas. Database exports. PDF forms and Word documents. Even the paper you scan. Covalent has a way in for the shape your data actually lives in.
-
An automatic first pass at the mapping
Covalent proposes the target field, the unit, and the meaning for every source column it sees — before your team gets to it. You review a draft, not stare at a blank grid.
-
Your subject-matter expert makes the call
The mapping is finalized in a UI your QA manager or lab lead can operate, with a live preview of what will land where. Vendor pairing is escalation, not the whole engagement.
-
Bring the forms your team is used to
The screens your team learned on can render on top of DLBD, on a per-user toggle, until the team is ready to switch. No re-training day one.
-
A canary you can trust
For the first weeks after cutover, a decision-critical value can render both the old system’s number and DLBD’s number side by side, with a one-click flag if they diverge.
-
A report you and your regulator will accept
Every migration ends with a signed reconciliation that says exactly what moved, what did not, and why — the kind of evidence an inspector will accept.
