DATA MIGRATION OVERVIEW:
A Data Migration is the movement of data from a source to target system.
Data Migration is usually required as a result of the introduction of a new business system – whether through a system consolidation, an application upgrade, a new data warehousing solution, or a company merger.
Data Migrations are often seen by companies as a necessary evil of large-scale, expensive IT Projects. As a result, it can be easy to focus on the more attractive aspects of such projects - the front-end system - whilst underestimating the size and complexity of actually getting data in there.
A Successful Data Migration will:
- Result in a seamless migration process – users of the new system/application will not worry about the data, but instead be able to enjoy the benefits of the system upgrade
- Ensure complete transparency through thorough system and unit testing, as well as reporting and validation
- Integrate data from multiple sources, across structured and unstructured data types for completeness
- Maintain and even improve data quality and integrity
- Not delay other aspects of the Programme
- Minimize downtime for the users within the business
- Minimize remedial fixes
