Data MigrationGetting data from A to B with speed and integrity |
The challenge
If you’re implementing new systems it’s almost certain your data will need to be migrated – and odds on, there will be problems. This leads to delays, cost overruns and substandard data in your new ERP, CRM, data warehouse or billing system. Net result: the return on investment suddenly looks a lot less attractive.
Why are migrations so difficult? Because most organisations set out without the right skills in place, with an unrealistic plan or simply leave it too late. Source data is not fully understood, analysis is time consuming and unreliable, complexity is underestimated and rework unpredictable. Systems do not join as expected; planning becomes guesswork.
As a ‘one-off’ event that may only occur once every few years, it’s not surprising that most organisations lack the breadth and depth of skills to execute a successful migration. Not surprising either that, along with software flaws, they are the primary reason for project delay and overrun.
