Abstract:

Businesses invest a lot of money (usually more than budgeted), time, and other resources to migrate their legacy data. The reasons for making such an investment range from upgrading to the latest version of an enterprise resource plan to making old data compatible with new information systems. The success of these data migration projects depends on a number of critical factors. This article looks at a few of them.
