Data Migration – Planning to Go-Live
Full-day (6h): Complete data migration – from planning to error handling.
Who this is for
You’re running an ERP project, a data migration, or a system switch. Data is the biggest risk – and often the most underestimated. This workshop shows how to plan and execute data migration systematically, so invalid data, duplicates, and missing histories don’t surface at go-live.
Agenda
Understanding data sources (60 min) – Analyse, document, identify hidden risks. Honestly assess data quality.
Mapping & transformation (75 min) – Source fields → target fields. Transformation logic. Edge cases. Live example.
Testing & validation (60 min) – Test scenarios, find errors early, acceptance criteria. Live demo.
Parallel run vs. big bang (45 min) – Decision criteria, risks, what fits your situation.
Go-live & emergency (45 min) – Support structure, error handling, rollback scenarios.
Your situation (30 min) – Your data, your risks, next steps.

Example from practice
Go-live disaster averted: A large enterprise migrated 500,000 customer records and 3 million transactions from two legacy systems into a new ERP. By running a data audit in week 2 – not week 20 – and multiple test migrations with real data, we caught mapping errors and duplicates before go-live. Result: on time, on budget, zero critical issues.
