Certinia Data Migration

As you may have read in our previous blogs, data migration is often viewed as a one-time activity but in reality, it’s not. It is not a one-click activity. Therefore, it’s not the best thing for you to do it manually. 

Another one of the most common problems on our list is not reviewing workflows. If previous workflows or triggers are still active, you might end up sending unwanted emails to your members. This means, there might be certain triggers in your system that fires emails to your real customers or any other unwanted activity.

One of the major reasons behind Data migration failure is not running enough tests. It mostly happens when we underestimate the importance of running frequent tests. Even after migrating all the records, the migration could fail if we haven’t run regular tests.

We all assume that the data in our source system is perfect and ready to migrate. However, sooner or later we do realize that it’s not the case. New systems have new rules and the legacy data may be violated with the intrusion of source data.

Is data migration a simple copying process? Most of us have this misconception about migration. Unfortunately, it’s way more complex than one initially imagined and it’s not as easy as just copying data from one live system to another.
