ERP migration
ERP data migration
Data migration is a vital—but sometimes challenging—step in implementing an enterprise resource planning (ERP) system.
At the heart of every ERP system is a shared database that enables employees across the organization to rely on the same, consistent set of information. When implementing ERP software, an organization has to move data from older systems into this database.
Key Takeaways
Data migration challenges include time, cost, data redundancy and integrity issues, stakeholder support and potential regulatory concerns.
Mapping out a clear ERP data migration strategy is the key to a successful implementation. Dedicate a team to analyzing the data, performing the migration and validating the results.
