Diving the review into two parts: the project’s structure and its technical aspects.; ; Methodology: Choosing a robust data migration methodology. We use the following approach:; 1. Separate source and target data models and the logic which lies between them.; 2. Separate the model from the mechanics of data storage; 3. Specify relationships between source and target; 4. Error detection; 5. Execute a runtime link to generate the code required to generate the integration.; ; Data preparation: Meticulous preparation of data including landscape analysis checks, Data assurance, Data profiling, Data quality definitions, Data verification and Data impact analysis; ; Data security: To ensure secure data transfer and secure data access. ; ; Business Engagement: The backing of senior business leaders will improve the chances of a data migration project going smoothly and ensure that the team has the necessary resources

As part of this process we create data quality scorecards to rapidly identify the; quality of data over time against defined targets based on pre-defined business rules.; This helps organisations to put in place processes that monitor data records as they move through systems ensuring that all data is correctly flowing from source to target.; We help clients draw up extensive operational and performance testing plans based on non-functional requirements for Data transformation, migration and exploitation solutions including BI solutions.
