Data migration is the process of transferring information stored as data in one data storage facility (the source database) to another data storage facility (the target database). The main goal of data migration is to ensure that all valuable information is properly transferred and that the relationships that make the information useful are preserved. Smooth and accurate data conversion and migration between existing systems and new proposed system are key to the success of a new system implementation.

The challenges involved in data migration arise from the amount of valuable, accumulated data and the complex relationships between tables and columns such as a single table/column from the source database becoming many tables/columns in the target database or many tables/columns from the source data becoming one table/column in the target database.

SCS Data Migration services help organisations to address these challenges through the application of a sound data migration methodology with clear deliverables at the end of each phase. Our dedicated project teams work with a clearly defined project plan and deliverables, and have extensive experience in the use of automated tools, leading to shorter program development time, fewer errors and better management of data.
