One of the biggest challenges faced by many large companies when they acquire a business is migrating the data of the business into their computing systems. This is because the systems used by the two organizations are not the same. The organizations also follow different practices and procedures, and this only serves to complicate the problem. The inability to migrate the data could result in a ‘data disconnect’ between the two organizations and poor visibility of the acquired company’s business operations.
The issues in migrating data of one business into the systems of another can be effectively resolved by using the right tools and developing a robust data migration framework. Today, we will see how we helped a leading IT product developer migrate the data of an acquired business rapidly, in a highly effective manner.
