Data Migration Project Planning

In 3 easy steps

Just in case you don’t have any experience of data migration planning, here’s an overview of what’s involved.

1. The beginning

We start with a blank piece of paper and a list of questions to design exactly what you need, rather than delivering only what is available.

2. The plan

Next we’ll create a comprehensive data migration plan.  We require a full understanding of the project and have developed over 120 detailed questions covering 20 potential areas which include:

Responsibilities                                        Business interaction with customer

Data Migration Approach                         Security

Risk Assessment                                     Data Accuracy

Resources                                               Legacy information

New System Landscape                          New System – Record Stage Identification

Financial transactions                              Business Rules new/historical/work arounds

Post Data Migration Environment

With the correct planning there should be no major surprises. This will reduce the level of programming and save a lot of wasted time, money and pain. From this we create the high level data migration plan.

3. The finer details

The high level data migration plan is an overview of our recommendations and will include:

Duration with detailed timeline                  Risk assessment

Affect on the rest of the business              Functionality of ETL

Required technologies                              Required resources

Legacy System Requirements                  Indicative prices
