Why Data Migration is Critical for Enterprises 

As enterprises evolve, the need to upgrade systems, merge data, or transition to new platforms becomes inevitable. Data migration is at the core of these transitions, playing a pivotal role in ensuring that data stays exact, accessible, and secure. Whether migrating from legacy systems like Oracle to SAP or upgrading an existing SAP estate to SAP S/4HANA, the success of these initiatives depends heavily on the effectiveness of the migration process. 

• Data Integrity: Ensures that all migrated data remains secure and valid. 
• Operational Continuity: Minimises downtime and disruption to business operations. 
• Compliance: Keeps adherence to regulatory requirements during the migration process. 
• RACI Clarity: The need for clear roles and responsibilities (RACI) during data migration is critical to avoid last-minute issues and ensure alignment with program expectations. 
• People, Process, Tooling: All three pillars are essential to deliver a successful data migration, ensuring that each aspect is aligned with program goals.
