Challenge
Understanding the client's ERP system was of paramount importance during the project. This required identifying and involving the appropriate experts, which was particularly critical since the success of data migration heavily relies on accurate and detailed information that only professionals with an in-depth knowledge of the system and business processes could provide.
The client also requested that we take responsibility for organizing and conducting the necessary workshops. These sessions not only facilitated information sharing but also involved active problem-solving and decision-making, which were essential for the project's progress.
We placed special emphasis on ensuring data consistency to ensure the success of the data migration. The client also required the development of validation processes.
