Business and Data Migration

While the benefits of transforming your Business Support Systems (BSS) or Operational Support Systems (OSS) are attractive, there are potential risks.

Typically, for 60% of projects, traditional ETL-based “big-bang” migration would overrun on time and budget. Most people (75%) though would only find out at the end of the project.

The rise of process-centric applications, such as CRM and ERP, and new application architectures has also increased the complexity of data migration.

To remove risk – and lower migration costs – demands very high IT and business skills. And specialist software tools for application data migration at a business control level. For which ageing tools and methods that have their roots in data warehousing are not suitable.

When zero is good

Our approach removes the risk. Based on software from Celona, our progressive migration strategy can be used much earlier in the project lifecycle than before.

We combine the latest software and our proven professional services for data migration. So you can rapidly adapt your business and IT systems to meet today’s changing demands. Real-time linking between source and target IT systems means:

• No disruption to business – as data is kept up-to-date in all systems during the migration, zero-downtime is possible
• A rapid ROI – as you can start benefitting from new applications sooner by migrating the data earlier.
• New types of migrations– such as incremental migrations by region, per customer, etc., as well as the big bang approach
• Reduced costs– as less time and effort are involved in the migration 

Simple to use for any migration, our approach is proven in practice with operators. It puts the business back in the driving seat when it comes to migration, rather than IT needs. This dramatically reduces business risks and project timescales.
