Analysts

More than 80% of data migration projects run over time

and/or over budget. Cost overruns average 30%. Time
overruns average 41%.
Bloor, 2007

80% of organizations will underestimate the costs

related to the data acquisition tasks by an average of 50
percent

Why?

Designing access to numerous source legacy

systems and/or data silos
Proper mapping of source to target files
Assuring consistent metadata
Resolving data quality problems

What was needed was an approach

that leveraged simplified tools, best
practice methodology and content to
address the full cycle of data
migration processes.

Example Data Migration Best Practices

Taken From Capgemini's DELIVER Methodology
DELIVER Data Migration Methodology
DELIVER: A tested methodology developed
globally, based on a structured approach
for the migration and quality improvement
of data.
Focus Areas:
Data Discovery helps to determine
issues with data in an early stage and
gives information needed to define
conversion rules of higher quality.
Frequent Trial Conversions or Mock
Migrations are executed and tested
against controls in order to provide quality
and completion.
Data mapping and cleansing leverages
accelerators through a data migration
factory model.
Data controls are put in place up front
in order to quantifiably measure the
success of a data conversion, which is
critical to the Go/No Go moment in the
project.
