Complexity

The complexity of data migration is underrated. Data migration managers must handle the interplay of human, technical and commercial challenges. Within this course, you will learn about our golden rules for data migration and the methodology that has led data migration projects to success. Turn the risk into an opportunity.

Teamwork

We succeed by breaking down the silos and barriers that hamper co-operation across the business between the technologists, the shopfloor and the C-floor because teams win games. Nowhere is this more true than in major transformation projects. PDM links the appropriate use of technology to the collective intelligence of an organisation’s hive mind, all delivered within a controlled manner.

Methodology

Only Practical Data Migration (PDM) weaves all three strands into a single web of integrated activities that delivers on the technology, the people and the commercial realities of major projects. As the commercial reality shifts and changes, our methodology moves forward with it as we seek to find the best in the new alongside the wisdom from the old.

About the course

This free course will introduce you to the underlying principles of PDM that inform the way we work. It will explain the structure of PDM, and the underlying strands of Technology, People and Commercial Reality that inform our methodology. We will provide actionable solutions to common data migration problems. The course will also discuss the practicalities of choosing suppliers and getting the most out of data migration services. There are many excellent data migration practitioners out there but there is no other methodology with the same breadth and depth, beyond simply the technological.
