Data Migration Assessment

Statistics indicate 8 out of 10 data migrations fail – where failure means schedule or budget overrun. Data migration is a specialised discipline within the Information Management landscape, which requires a proven track record of successful implementation. Often organizations try to ‘go it alone’ for these projects, which has contributed to the poor track record of success because most companies do not have a highly focused team dedicated to the data migration function.

With many data migration projects delivered, Zenith Solutions have evolved and refined their successful data migration methodology which mitigates the risks inherent in all data migrations. This starts with a Data Migration Readiness Assessment. The Data Migration assessment reviews the following areas and test the strength of each as these factors are key determinants in the success or failure of the data migration project:

• Scheduling
• Experience of resources
• Methodology
• Technology
• Business engagement
• Data Quality
• Audit and Reconciliation
• Repeatable processes
• DM Governance
