What is Data Migration?
Data migration is the process of transferring data from one system to another, typically during software implementations, upgrades, or consolidations. This involves extracting data from legacy systems, transforming it to match new system requirements, validating accuracy, and loading it into the target platform.
Successful data migration requires careful planning, data mapping, cleansing to remove duplicates and errors, and thorough testing. In accounting and HR contexts, data migration includes historical transactions, employee records, client information, and configuration settings.
Proper data migration ensures business continuity, preserves historical information, enables accurate reporting, and minimizes disruption during system transitions.
