Publisher's Synopsis
Are you prepared for the inevitable?
Every enterprise system in use today will eventually become a legacy system. When that moment arrives, the difference between a smooth transition and a catastrophic failure is having a well-defined data migration strategy.
This book is not about just moving data from Point A to Point B. It's about understanding why legacy system decommissioning is a high-stakes business transformation, not just an IT project. Based on a decade of hands-on experience, real-world case studies, and industry best practices, this book provides a proven 10-component framework to help executives, project managers, and technical teams confidently navigate the complexities of data migration.
Inside, you'll learn:
- How to define the right migration scope-and avoid unnecessary costs and risks
- The role of data quality, governance, and compliance in a successful migration
- Common pitfalls that derail data migration projects-and how to avoid them
- Why post-migration monitoring is critical-with real-world lessons from failed projects
- How to align people, process, and technology for seamless execution
Written in a clear, practical, and experience-driven style, this book delivers actionable insights drawn from real-world data migration projects. Whether you're an executive making strategic decisions or a technical leader responsible for execution, this guide will help you navigate your next data migration project with clarity, control, and confidence.
Don't let your legacy system dictate your future. Be prepared. Migrate smart.
