In many legacy data migration projects, the design and development stage can rely heavily on a review of source documentation. When these materials are absent, out-of-date or wrong, this stage represents one of the most significant risk areas.
That is precisely why Arbutus Migrate uses a data-driven methodology, using the real source data, rather than contrived test data. Migrate queries the source data directly, with no ETL programming required.
Advantages of Migrate's legacy data migration:
- Uses real source data early in the process, revealing issues that must be addressed up front
- Helps you estimate the scope of the project more accurately
- Minimizes your reliance on reviews of potentially inaccurate source documentation
- Ensures important business and technical issues are not overlooked
- Allows you to derive most of your meta data directly from the source data
- Supports agile methodologies and an iterative approach to legacy data migration, with continuous fine-tuning, until all issues are thoroughly addressed
- Increases reliability of tests more than if the process was undertaken using test data
- Allows users to quantify and identify data quality issues at the outset
