Mistakes in Data Migration
Ensuring smooth data migration is no easy task, but we are here to help. Beware of the following mistakes to make sure that your data migration process is smooth and seamless.
Not including business users
Business users are the ultimate end users of the data. It’s necessary to include them in the data migration process to understand how the data migration works in practice and course-correct if necessary.
- Reviewing infrastructure
- Analyzing compatibility issues
- Determining the step where to involve stakeholders
- Gathering feedback about merging, cleansing, and restructuring the data
Neglecting preparation of the source data
You can’t just Ctrl C and Ctrl V all the data to the new platform. It has to be thoroughly examined and reshaped to fit the new parameters. Our specialists will restructure your data so it can fit the new Shopware store.
- Checking data for duplicates, gaps, spelling errors
- Cleansing source data
- Eliminating outdated or irrelevant parts
- Configuring data to fit the new parametersv
Overlooking the set of governance
When transferring data to the new platform, you don’t want to transfer all the little inconsistencies and mistakes with it. So, before making a transfer, it’s necessary to check and define the governance structure of data.
- Setting who can access, edit, and remove the data
- Managing the lifecycle of data
- Checking if the data is in compliance with the company’s validation rules
Skipping tests and validation
Migration issues are an inevitable part of the process. Testing and checking the data should be present throughout the whole journey of migration, not only at the end of it. Testing data transfer multiple times reduces costs and time spent on the process.
- Defining tests and evaluations
- Setting follow-up meetings with stakeholders
- Discussing issues and lessons learned with the whole team
- Creating action plans for moving forward
