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

Research has shown that software implementations are put at risk when data migration is not thoroughly considered and planned. The successful implementation of mission-critical SAP enterprise applications requires a mission-critical approach to data migration. Data migration is not just about moving the data into SAP; it's about making the data work once within SAP.

This white paper examines five common data migration challenges associated with SAP implementations:
  1. Identifying and analyzing source data
  2. Accessing source data
  3. Addressing data quality in legacy applications
  4. Preparing and loading data into SAP
  5. Supporting the data migration lifecycle.
The paper also discusses the value of using Informatica® PowerCenter®, a single, unified enterprise data integration platform, to address these challenges.
