Archive migration

Move the archive without rushing the cutover.

Existing imaging can be evaluated, transferred and verified in stages while the practice keeps access to its current system.

The process

Evaluate, transfer, verify.

  1. Review the source archive

    We confirm the study count, export format, date range and available metadata, then inspect a representative sample.

  2. Plan the transfer

    The practice and EQPACS agree on the export method, transfer sequence and a realistic verification plan.

  3. Import the DICOM studies

    Studies are transferred in stages so progress can be checked while the existing archive remains available.

  4. Verify before cutover

    Counts and sample studies are checked before the practice decides when to rely on the new archive.

Before transfer begins

Start with facts about the archive.

A study count alone does not describe a migration. The export format, modality mix, metadata quality and available transfer method all affect the work.

A representative sample lets us confirm how the studies arrive and what the practice should expect before committing to the full move.

Migration pricing

One-time fees based on archive size.

  • Up to 3,000 studies
    $399 one-time
  • Up to 10,000 studies
    $699 one-time
  • High volume
    Reviewed individually

Final scope is confirmed after a sample export is reviewed. Remediation of damaged or non-standard source data may require separate work.

Migration questions

Do we have to move the entire archive before trying EQPACS?

No. Start with current studies and evaluate the day-to-day workflow first. Migration is a separate decision.

How long does a migration take?

It depends on archive size, export speed, connection speed and the condition of the source metadata. We set expectations after reviewing a sample rather than promising a generic turnaround.

Can the current PACS stay available during transfer?

That is the preferred approach. Keep the source system available until the imported archive has been checked and the practice is comfortable with cutover.

What if the export is incomplete or not standard DICOM?

We identify the issue during evaluation and explain what can be imported before transfer work begins.

Try the workflow before moving the history.

Evaluate current studies first. Plan the archive only when the practice is ready.
