As the desire for business agility and insights increases alongside the need for reduced costs, an increasing number of businesses are looking to migrate their data to cloud services.
Whether it’s as a result of outdated systems or large volumes of inaccessible data, there are many reasons an organisation may look to migrate their data. Data migration can offer improved reporting and analytics for business insights, making it a valuable solution for modern enterprises.
Read on to discover more of the benefits of data migration services.
Why choose a data migration?
Data migration is the movement of data from one system, format or storage location to another. There are many reasons that organisations may look to migrate data, including:
- Post-merger and acquisition (M&A) activity that requires the consolidation of multiple existing data systems
- Legacy systems that are cost-ineffective, outdated, difficult to support and unable to keep pace with business developments
- The desire to consolidate data into a single system to reduce costs and gain better insights into your data in line with business objectives
- The increased need for better technology, security and governance to operate effectively at scale.
A successful data migration process
At Dufrain, we keep the data migration process clear and simple so that our clients are always informed on the progress of their migrations.
Beginning with the discovery and requirements gathering stage, our team gains an understanding of what the source and target systems look like and the client’s data requirements.
During the build and user acceptance testing (UAT) stages, we build the migration pipelines and test that they meet the client’s requirements. This process may be iterative, returning to the build stage to ensure the pipeline is tailored effectively.
At the migration stage, the pipeline is made live and the client’s data is moved from the source system to the target system. This is followed by data governance checks, which ensure that all of the required data has been migrated correctly and matches the figures from the source system.
