Oracle Data Migration Services

The Data Migration process is a key component of an Oracle Cloud implementation and can often be what makes or breaks the delivery date. The preparation in knowing your data and what you need to migrate is crucial and every organisation should ensure they have the resources and time planned in the programme for reviewing and verifying their migration data.

Two of the most common risks with data migration areas is the data quality and migration of too much historic data. With data quality, once it is loaded it becomes clear that there are errors or inconsistencies which can then cause issues with the quality of data and cause delays to the migration from legacy systems to Oracle. There are fundamental questions and preparation needed as part of this that our experienced team can help advise and guide you on.
