In uncertain economic times, companies are looking for ways to save money throughout the enterprise. One method is to consolidate IT systems and applications, making the company more efficient while lowering the recurring IT costs. These projects always involve a data migration effort that will take useful data and move it to the new system. Smart companies understand that the core of any data migration effort is a foundation of data quality and data integration.
In this Webcast, Evan Levy of Baseline Consulting and Daniel Teachey of DataFlux will explore best practices that drive successful data migration efforts, including:
- How organizations can analyze existing data prior to data migration efforts
- Methods to standardize, validate and verify data throughout the data migration process
- Ways to turn a data migration strategy into an ongoing data governance program
