Definition

Data migration describes transferring data between storage types, formats or computer systems with as little change as possible. Due to acquisitions, relocation, or outgrowing a current system, companies find the need to migrate data. More than just a “lift and shift” approach, good  data migration catalyzes rethinking of Data Strategy and Data Architecture through:

• Upgrading performance
• Removing the risks posed by unusable and inconsistent content
• Increasing the partnership between IT and business
• Rethinking and doing data processes
• Making data assets more usable for the organization
