Don’t Just Move Your Data to SAP—Make It Work in SAP
Research has shown that software implementations are put at risk when data migration is not thoroughly considered and planned. The successful implementation of mission-critical SAP enterprise applications requires a mission-critical approach to data migration. Data migration is not just about moving the data into SAP. It's about making the data work once within SAP.
There are five common data migration challenges associated with SAP implementations:
1. Identifying and analyzing source data
2. Accessing source data
3. Addressing data quality in legacy applications
4. Preparing and loading data into SAP
5. Supporting the data migration lifecycle
Informatica PowerCenter provides powerful capabilities to help overcome data migration challenges associated with SAP implementations from a single, unified data integration platform. These capabilities include:
- Data profiling capabilities for identifying and analyzing source data
- Universal data access capabilities for accessing source data
- Built-in transformation and correction capabilities for addressing the quality of data in legacy applications
- Certified connectivity to SAP to prepare and load data into SAP
Since data migration teams can leverage all these capabilities from a single, unified data integration platform, they can increase productivity, ensure scalability, and reduce risk.
