Need to move data to a new application? Not sure where to start?
Data Migration can be a bit of a “dark art”, it seems straightforward but can have hidden pitfalls that can cause an entire Programme to be derailled if not factored in early on.
Let me help guide you through the areas:
- Understanding your existing Data Landscape (Data Profilling, Data Quality, Data Accuracy, )
- Defining your data migration and data transformation strategy
- Initial Data Profiling of your legacy data
- Estimating the Data Migration and Data Transformation Solution
- Defining you Data Validation, Data Security, Data Governance & Data Audit approach
- Building and testing your data migration tooling
- Putting in place a robust Data Migration/Data Transformation project plan
Planning: The first stage of any Data migration is to understand your companies current position and a full understanding of the existing Data Landscape landscape, and then identify the most suitable transformation approach. Ensuring full risk analysis with alignment to security, compliance, and any regulatory requirements.
Resource Planning: Data migration projects have a high demand on multiple teams within the existing company and support partners I can lead the identification of demand and any skill gaps, the approach to mitigate this gaps and build a team that allows the successful delivery of the project.
Risk Mitigation: Each Data Migration is unique to the organisation, identifing the unique and specific risks and Migrating critical data across data loss and compatibility issues.I can build risk mitigation strategies and contingency planning, to address these risks to ensure business continuity in case of any unexpected setbacks.
Communication and Collaboration: The complexity of Data migration cannot be underestimated so effective communication is paramountto ensure the involvement of multiple stakeholders across IT, business, vendors, and end-users. I will facilitate regular worshops, meetings, status updates/reporting to ensure all parties are informed and aligned.
Data Security and Compliance: Data Security & compliance is a key no compromise concern when migrating sensitive dat. I will ensure the project collaborates with both cybersecurity and compliance experts to implement robust measures to ensure compliance with industry regulations and data protection laws, safeguarding the organization from potential legal and reputational risks.
