- Lower the overall costs of data migration projects
Informatica Solution Data Migration Key Features
- Natively accesses nearly all datatypes in any system
- Profiles the content and structure of source data to flag data quality issues for further remediation
- Measures, remediates, and monitors data quality to cleanse, standardize, and eliminate duplication
- Converts, transforms, and reconciles all data and then migrates that data to the right place, at the right time, and in the right format
- Enables business subject matter experts to manage reference data directly, without help from IT
Data Migration Methodology
The Informatica solution for data migration offers a best-practice implementation methodology specifically designed for data migration projects. The Informatica Velocity Methodology encapsulates techniques that can boost your productivity on data migration projects while significantly reducing project risk. The philosophy behind this methodology is "convert early, often, and with real production data."
- Convert Early. Informatica recommends introducing data into the data migration process as soon as possible to address issues up front and provide a benchmark to accurately estimate the length and scope of the data migration project.
- Convert Often. An iterative approach to data conversion allows for continuous tuning of the migrated data until all issues are thoroughly addressed. In addition, the value of migrated data increases with each iteration, because production data is being used.
- Use Real Production Data. Informatica has developed a method for using production data in the data migration process that doesn’t have a negative impact on production systems’ performance or results. As a result, each iteration yields immediate benefits, and the results of the tests are more reliable than if test or “dummy” data were used.
