What is data migration so interesting?
Data migration challenge
Organisations that embark on a system upgrade, modernisation, digitalisation or similar programs don’t realise the complexity of moving their data.
Approach
What is the best approach to our data migration challenges?
People
Do we have the knowledge and experience we need?
Tools
Can we use tools already built and tested?
Many data migration projects continue to follow the traditional waterfall approach. Results are often too slow, ineffective, or inaccurate. An agile and iterative approach is needed.
Most organisation underestimate the size and complexity of data migrations and often lack people with experience in complex data migration as it is rarely done.
The industry still continues to build poor quality and costly one-off solutions. But specialised software tools for data migration do exist. Tools that get you started fast and focused on business decisions.
The challenge
1. Moving target
- Data migration project is part of a bigger program
- Bigger program introduces changes in the target system along the way
2. Text based specifications
- A team of business analysts specifying mapping and a team of developers implementing = resource and labour intensive
- A source of error if/when mapping specification is not correctly understood by the developer
- Inconsistencies between specifications and implementation grow as the project progresses
3. Iteration cycles
- Slow iteration: Modify specification > communicate/explain modifications > implement modifications. Bogs down even further as project progresses
- As a project progresses earlier implementation choices may render desirable specifications enhancements/changes impractical
- No or poor support for cross referencing and validation in the mapping specifications - often voluminous and complex
4. Difficult to interpret data
- All data is typically moved forward in a table-centric, waterfall like sequence of steps
- Issues with few data objects often require complete reiteration
- Difficult to trace data and issues
5. Surprises
- Complications and problems cause delay
- Dependecies complicate specifications and implementation
- If overlooked can be difficult to trace
- Sometimes even in the target system after the migration
6. Little reuse for new projects
- No clear separation of source and target
- A new project often starts on (or close to) square one
