"Application migration and consolidation projects are typically done to support
business process change and improvement, and cost reduction. However, numerous
data-centric challenges encountered when upgrading, changing or reducing apps
can create major delays and cost overruns, and potentially jeopardize project
success. The challenges may include getting a clear picture of the current
application portfolio and data landscape, reconciling data while migrating it,
or handling customizations in updated releases," said Pang. "A sound
methodology and complete enterprise data integration software platform are
essential to overcoming these challenges, promoting project success and
maximizing value from enterprise applications."
"Data integration addresses key components of application migration efforts,
including migrating historical data from legacy systems, enhancing data quality
before loading new applications, and consolidating and reconciling existing
data models into a single, larger instance. The Ascential Enterprise
Integration Suite(TM) uniquely meets data profiling, data quality, and data
transformation requirements in transactional, analytical, and operational
environments," said Evans. "Implementing a data integration suite enables
organizations to have the utmost confidence in the accuracy and completeness of
data supporting these business-critical systems."
"Lessons Learned: Minimizing Risk in Enterprise Application Migrations" will
include an overview of market trends in enterprise application migrations,
including upgrades and consolidations. Discussion of a coordinated data
integration strategy will include specific coverage of strategies for
minimizing risk and downtime, streamlining the implementation process, and
enhancing the resulting business value of projects.
