WHEN TWO IS NOT BETTER THAN ONE, ERP Data Migration from Multiple Legacy Sources
Data Migration is one of the most time consuming and risky ventures in a system implementation. There are many misconceptions about this process (see article published in Technology Evaluation Centers, Inc. published February 4, 2007) that need to be continually addressed in order for implementation teams to understand the venture upon which they are embarking.
As older system begin to outlive their usefulness in an organization, there is a growth in the use of spreadsheets and ancillary systems. This is primarily due to older systems not being able to support the needs of current business processes. As a result, many organizations choose to use methods to record and manage this information in the form of spreadsheets or database software systems such as Access, Filemaker, Goldmine and others. This will meet their immediate business needs and will work fairly well until all the data must be migrated over to a new enterprise-wide system.
