Data Migration Data migration is often the biggest issue with any IT project. Ensuring the clinical movement of data between two locations whilst ensuring business continuity can carry great risk. If you are planning a data migration exercise, you will know that the process can be made more complicated as a result of different formats, multiple sources and in most cases, the sheer volume of data to be moved. What is your reason for migrating data? The drivers for data migration are numerous and not always related to a software upgrade. We have worked with a range of companies with varying data migration requirements including: • Software/system upgrades • Wholesale change to new operating platforms or • Moving or consolidating data between databases or moving from on-premise to hosted or cloud-based data warehouses systems • Merging systems as a result of business acquisitions • Synchronisation projects – when running disaster and the need to combine multiple data sources into a recovery environments or in the lead up to the single new application/master database introduction of a new system HULFT makes data migration simple HULFT is a rapidly deployed, easy to configure data migration tool used by over 10,000 businesses worldwide. Using a range of preconfigured connectors and its intuitive software developers kit, HULFT can move volumes of data rapidly and securely whilst performing any validation, formatting or editing required. The process of migrating data, sometimes referred to as ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) really explains how HULFT manages the movement of data. Automatically transform data quickly and accurately Once the strategy is agreed, the system is configured, quickly and easily to extract and collate the various source(s) of data. When taking data from more than one source, or moving to another system, it is typical that some form of change needs to be affected. Whether the need is for wholesale editing, combining elements or merging data, HULFT can be programmed to make those amendments to the data during processing. It will then output a single, streamlined and consistent data file ready for import into the destination application. Just as HULFT can be connected to the source data, a connection can also be built so that the final output file is passed directly into the receiving database, in the correct format. HULFT will perform multiple validation checks throughout the migration and will provide detailed report for audit purposes. Remove manual intervention By connecting every aspect of the process, HULFT removes the combined risks of manual data entry, rekeying data and duplication. The process itself becomes streamlined and efficient and ensures any manual intervention is focused on strategy, design and planning.
