What’s the problem?
Data migration is a process where records are transferred from a source system to a target environment with the objective of minimising costs of transfer and reducing risk. That risk includes “operational risk”, the need to keep the show on the road, “credit risk” and very importantly “reputational risk”. This can be a very complex procedure, usually involving the migration of significant volumes transactions of customer and/or financial data. With billions of pounds of asset data potentially being transferred – which may include sensitive and important information organisations are therefore challenged with completing the migration process with maximum accuracy, whilst ensuring no negative customer impact.
When does Data Migration take place?
There are several examples of businesses completing data migration:
- Upgrade to new systems
- Transfer of books of business to an outsource provider
- Merger and acquisition integration
- Demergers
