Mergers and acquisitions
Mergers and acquisitions (M&A) often necessitate the migration of data between systems. At Dufrain, we have observed an increase in data migration requirements due to M&A activity. To expedite the delivery of data migration projects and provide value to our clients earlier, we have deployed FlightPath, our metadata-driven data migration accelerator, to multiple organisations.
Following a merger or acquisition, businesses may inherit different technology platforms, resulting in multiple systems performing identical or similar tasks. This technological redundancy often results in increased costs for various reasons:
- Firstly, there is an additional cost associated with licensing and maintaining multiple disparate systems
- Secondly, there is a cost associated with training the appropriate personnel to use the correct system
- Finally, there is a cost associated with ensuring accurate and meaningful data is available from these duplicate systems to provide meaningful business insight.
FlightPath, in conjunction with Dufrain’s data migration knowledge and capabilities, can reduce these costs and expedite the consolidation of multiple systems following M&A activity, ensuring that businesses realise cost benefits and efficiencies earlier.
Legacy systems
Legacy systems are another critical reason why businesses approach Dufrain for assistance with data migration projects. Legacy system migrations are often challenging due to older systems and technologies that continue to be utilised within businesses despite more efficient, secure, and modern alternatives being available.
Legacy systems often introduce complexity to data migration projects due to their use of outdated data formats, standards, and best practices. In addition, legacy systems frequently exhibit data integrity issues such as data duplication, inconsistent data formats, and data validation issues (such as missing foreign key constraints). These issues can be compounded by a substantial volume of data accumulated over many years of system use.
To overcome these challenges and complexities, FlightPath provides out-of-the-box capabilities that reduce complexity and ensure full visibility of data integrity. Together with Dufrain’s in-depth knowledge of data migration, FlightPath can streamline even the most intricate legacy system migration, ensuring businesses are cost-efficient, secure, and performant.
