MIGRATION

Data migration is the process of moving, copying, and restructuring data from an existing system to the ERP system. Migration is critical to implementation success and requires significant planning. Unfortunately, since migration is one of the final activities before the production phase, it often receives insufficient attention. The following steps can structure migration planning:

• Identify data to migrate
• Determine migration timing
• Generate data templates[clarification needed]
• Freeze the toolset
• Decide on migration-related setups[clarification needed]
• Define data archiving policies and procedures
