Data Migration and Projects

What is Data Migration?
Data migration is the process of moving data from a local system to a new target system. This happens very often because the actual system is obsolete, Harmonisation of processes for different plants with similar processes, legal requirements or only to use a new system to improve the local process of the business.

Why is Data Migration so important?
Very first reason is the big opportunity to cleanse whatever data from the past and only have the data I need in my system. Healthy high-quality data is the base of any business to work efficiently. Here you have the link between business requirements and IT solution.
