Data Migration

Data Migration is the process of transferring data between one application system to another, database type to another, or storage type.

Data migration can be classified into the following categories:
Application systems Migration
Business Process Migration
Storage Migration
Database Migration
Hardware Migration

Our focus is data migration for Application systems and business processes.

Data migration is required when new systems are implemented, existing systems are upgraded or integrated with one another as is the case when business mergers or acquisitions happen and the company ends up with two systems for the same function.

Data migration is effective when a procedure is defined to map the data on the old system to the new system, provide a design for data extraction, loading of data and incorporates data validation and error resolution.
Data migration is usually performed in phases (design, extraction, cleansing, load, verification). For application projects of moderate to high complexity, the phases are repeated several times before the new system is deployed.
For successful data migration data cleaning is commonly performed to improve data quality, eliminate redundant or obsolete information.

Our expertise
At Decision Technologies our core offering is data migration to enable successful application migrations and business process migrations. Our mission is to drive client success and to keep your project for becoming a part of the overwhelming statistic where 93% of projects result in application underutilization or worse, are canceled midway or abandoned due to data issues. This according to a study conducted by the American SAP user group also known a ASUG.

Our established methodologies solve challenges that arise when:
Data from one system does not support the business rule of other systems.
The old system has a fewer number of columns than the needs of the new
system.
Pre-Validation of data is needed
On the fly validation during the data loads is needed.
•      Data loss occurs in the transformation
•    Automating tasks VS manual intervention is mandated.
•    Managing high data volumes
•    Managing data conflicts
•    Ambiguous business rules
•    Change Management

Our methodologies enable us to be an accelerator and multiplier and not waste cycle times solving problems that have already solved before and we have answers too.
