How Do I Get From Point A to Point B
So you have an existing system and you are looking to migrate to a new and more powerful system that is supposed to solve all of your problems. Everyone on the team promised that migrating the data between the systems will be “straightforward” but no one has had the experience in doing it. Now layer in the goal of getting both systems to run in parallel and start to think about the complexities involved in maintaining synchronization between the systems during the testing phase.
At BHC, we understand data. Day in and day out, we are working with our clients data becoming intimately familiar with their goals for migration, conversion, transformation and synchronization. In fact, migrating data from system to system is a constant activity for most organizations. Mergers and acquisitions can result in multiple systems with information that needs to be synchronized. Moving legacy data during application upgrades and conversions is ongoing, as is the movement of data in and out of ERP systems.
Many project teams often rely on manual and inconsistent tools and practices when migrating data, which results in labor-intensive project schedules with many that fail to deliver. Furthermore, poor data migration, integration and quality are common factors in failed or delayed enterprise application projects. Our data migration teams at BHC have perfected the art of migrating and converting enterprise data over many engagements and are prepared to help you move your business and systems forward.
As companies look to leverage new CRM, ERP and BI applications to deliver value, much depends on the accessibility and fidelity of the data within these applications. Most projects involve data extractions, loading and validations phases, but the importance of properly migrating data is often underemphasized. Why take the risk on an endeavor as complicated as this when you can call the folks who do this every day?
