Implementing or Upgrading SAP Solutions? - Don't Forget the Data: Addressing the Challenges and Risks of Data Migration

Overview Research has shown that software implementations are put at risk when data migration is not thoroughly considered and planned. According to recent research, more than 80 percent of software implementation projects fail or overrun their budgets and schedules. Of the projects that are overrun, half exceed timescales by 75 percent and two-thirds exceed the overall project budgets. A major reason why these failure rates are so high is because data migration is considered a minor, one-time event during the overall implementation. The successful implementation of mission-critical SAP enterprise applications requires a mission-critical approach to data migration. This paper examines five common data migration challenges associated with software implementations. It discusses the value of using a single, unified enterprise data integration platform to address these challenges.
