IT administrators now rank data migrations among their most difficult tasks. It’s not easy to tell where companies are coming from when they migrate.
From the Old to the New System
From the software of one provider to that of another, or from local installation to the cloud.
To “migrate” data means to transfer it from one data source to another, in this case from “Legacy” to “Target.” When it comes to efficiency and savings, Data Warehousing is an essential task for any type of company. Data is extracted from customer relationship management systems (CRMs), data servers, or flat files, converted in a staging area, and loaded into a data warehouse through an ETL (Extract Transform Load) process. Information and data may be lost if it ever fails.
