When data migration goes wrong
With migrating to the cloud increasingly becoming a necessity, it is imperative that organizations pay greater attention to effective data migration.
Numerous surveys in recent years regarding data migration.
A post-in-depth analysis revealed that many organizations went way past their budgets and schedules during data migrations.
Not even two-thirds of companies managed to complete their migration projects in time and within the allocated budget.
Furthermore, the post-survey analysis revealed some common factors that resulted in this disparity.
The factors :
- + Lack of pre-migration planning
- + Failure to clearly envision the post-migration environment
- + Lack of specialized technical skill set to perform the migration
- + Failure to properly scope out the required costs and time
- + Improper #backup for delayed schedule
- + Inefficient project management skills specifically pertaining to migrations
