Data Migration

Post by rosyiv »

Hi!

We recently acquired a business. There are ongoing activities to migrate the data from the old systems of the acquired business to our systems. In relation to this, we are incurring the following costs, among others:

(1) data conversion / migration costs
(2) data testing costs
(3) hoteling costs during dress rehearsals
(4) infrastructure builds
(5) connectivity costs

Can we capitalize these costs?

Thanks.

Sounds like part of the costs of acquisition in some ways, so I'd say no, seems like costs you often see in a separate line in P&L in the acquisition year.
