Approach and Design Highlights

Every migration is unique.

Extract, Transformation and Load: We consider auditing, volumes, performance and security when building ETL solutions. We use ETL tools where they add value.

Data Cleansing: Data analysis coupled with water-tight data validation permits us to seek efficiencies through automated data cleansing.

Mapping: Working with target and legacy stakeholders, we systematically and accurately map legacy data to target systems.

Reconciliation: Reconciling source and target data/bills is a key migration success indicator and a vital component of any complex migration.

Testing: We design migration testing strategies in conjunction with target test teams to prove that target systems function with migrated data and prove the robustness of the migration solution itself.

TDMC Framework: Our framework approach and breadth of knowledge allows us to rise to any challenge.

Sponsorship: We identify C-level sponsorship and ownership for the migration project, preferably with leadership driven from business rather than IT.

Creating the Big Picture: We understand that no-one knows how the whole enterprise works and so we carefully select and orchestrate subject matter experts from business and IT to establish the big picture.

Practical Solutions: Our mantra is to always consider if there is a more cost-effective, practical way of implementing any part of the solution by repeatedly considering all applicable business and technical inputs.
