Our Credentials The above names and logos are trademarks of the respective organizations. Industry wide expertise across the supplier landscape We believe that the Data Migration exercise in any project should be supportive of the overall aims of the project and provide real benefits to the project as a whole. As part of our methodology we go beyond the normal ETL process. Our methodology brings real additional benefits to an FI by supporting a Delta Migration Capability, Full change control during the test migrations, De-Duplication of Data during the migration, support for ancillary systems like document management, support for inflight transactions, as well as the standard ETL capabilities at the core of any DM project, 2 Our Methodology Key Principles Our methodology is based on a few key principles. Delta Migration Capability - This significantly reduces the time criticality of the DM process on both test migrations and also at cutover. Traditionally a live cutover is time critical and a large proportion is taken up by the actual data migration itself. Our Delta capability reduces this to the bare minimum by spreading the majority of the DM exercise over several weeks prior to go live. Change Control – it is important that the DM process is fully aligned with changes occurring in the main project. Our methodology ensures that Change is managed both within the DM process itself and also in line with Change Control in the wider project. In-Flight Event Handling – our methodology supports the processing of in flight events (usually but not limited to financial transactions like Credit and Debit card transactions). Migration of ancillary systems – during any complex project there will usually be a range of ancillary systems to be managed as part of the DM exercise. Our methodology fully supports and manages this concept. Phased DM Capability Release – we believe that the DM stream within a project should be used to support the project from the outset. This will enable the project as a whole to benefit from using live data (suitably sanitized) as early as possible in the project. The outputs from the DM stream can be used to provide refreshed data to all testing streams. 3 Working as part of the FI’s project team our consultants can bring expertise both at the management and execution levels. Our methodology produces key artifacts within the project to facilitate a smooth DM exercise and provide a clear and auditable trail of all activities.
