Data Migration Process Strategies

Abstract

Today, data migration is important to the organizations to transform the data sources of old systems to the new systems. Most companies do data migration to update their systems. Data migration is the process of moving data from one location to another, one format to another, or one application to another. Generally, this is the result of introducing a new system or location for the data. The business driver is usually an application migration or consolidation in which legacy systems are replaced or augmented by new applications that will share the same dataset. These days, data migrations are often started as firms move from on-premises infrastructure and applications to cloud-based storage and applications to optimize or transform their company. This paper describes strategies and techniques in data migrations in organization perspective.
