Why Aglowid

Data Migration Strategies, We Employ

Aglowid IT Solutions employs a range of data migration strategies to ensure smooth and efficient transition of client’s data from one system to another. The specific strategy that would be ideal for your company will depend on the nature of data, systems involved and the goals and urgency of migration. You can always reach out to our data migration consultants if you are confused, and then choose the right strategy for your project.

Phased Migration

We migrate data in planned phases, allowing for a more gradual approach to data migration.

  • Pro: Minimizes disruption to ongoing operations.
  • Pro: Better risk management as issues can be identified & addressed in smaller, manageable portions.
  • Con: Phased Migration can be time consuming and cause delay in reaping the benefits of the data migration process.
  • Con: Managing coexistence between old and new systems during migration period can be challenging.

Big Bang Migration

Opposed to phased migration, in our Big Bang Migration services, all data is migrated at once.

  • Pro: Rapid transition, resulting in earlier accessibility to new systems.
  • Pro: Easier to manage a single comprehensive migration event in terms of resource allocation and project management.
  • Con: Higher risk of downtime during the migration process, especially if the effort goes faulty due to unforeseen circumstances.
  • Con: Validating one consolidated system may pose challenges in identifying and addressing the issue due to the scale of the migration.

Parallel Migration

Parallel Migration involves running the legacy & modern systems simultaneously during the migration process.

  • Pro: Efficient validation as both systems can be compared in real-time.
  • Pro: Systems can operate during the migration process, minimizing downtime & maintaining business continuity.
  • Con: Managing two parallel systems can introduce business and synchronization complexities, with increased resource demand.
  • Con: Running two systems parallel will be resource intensive which would require additional resources to maintain and operate both systems.

Incremental Migration

Incremental migration allows organizations to only migrate parts of the overall systems that require change or upgradation.

  • Pro: Reduced complexity of the data migration process with smaller data sets.
  • Pro: Minimized downtime as only the changes need to be migrated, reducing operational resource utilization.
  • Con: Planning incremental migrations requires careful consideration about dependencies & sequencing.
  • Con: Ensuring data consistency between old and new data migration models can be challenging & time consuming.

Aglowid's Data Migration FAQs

Data Migration involves planning, extracting, transforming, and loading (ETL) of data from one system to another. This procedure requires careful mapping, testing, and validation to ensure a smooth transition without compromising data integrity.

Under the umbrella of data migration, various essential components are involved. These include meticulous planning, thorough analysis of source and target systems, schema mapping, data extraction, its transformation, loading into the destination system (ETL process), rigorous data validation, and comprehensive post-migration testing.

The cost of data migration varies based on factors like the volume of data, complexity of systems, and chosen migration method. Expenses include software, hardware, labour, and potential downtime, making cost estimation crucial during planning.

The time needed for data migration depends on data volume, complexity, and system integration. To get the complete timeline, get in touch with our data migration consultant at [email protected]

The best approach for data migration involves thorough planning, risk assessment, and utilizing proven methodologies like ETL. Incremental migration, where data is transferred in phases, minimizes disruptions and allows for efficient problem resolution during the process.

Post-migration validation is crucial. It includes data integrity checks, comparison with source data, and validation against predefined criteria. Automated testing tools and manual checks are employed to ensure data accuracy, completeness, and compliance with business requirements.
