Resource Centre
On average, large enterprises will start 8-9 migration or consolidation efforts
in the next two years. These efforts will underpin CRM, ERP, Supply Chain, compliance
and other strategies.
Yet, according to Standish Group, over 80 percent of data migrations either fail
entirely or overrun their planned budgets and timelines. Many suffer from reduced
functionality and quality which then inhibits return on investment from strategic
initiatives. Poor migrations will actually cause some businesses to fail.
Faced with such risks, how can you get migration right?
If you could only gain insight into what makes data migration so difficult, the
key pitfalls and copy methods that have won success for others, then you could mitigate
the risks and lead your organisation to success.
Following the success of our seminar “Strategic Data Integration – Getting Migration
Right”, please find below various presentations, customer case studies and thought
leadership pieces which we hope you will find useful.
Presentations From Seminar
Data Integration – Enterprise Unlimited: Atos Origin
Graham Barnes, Business Intelligence Capability Lead, Atos Origin
Organisations have grown and merged; and technologies have come and gone... The
result is a “birds nest” of systems and data pipes which puts IT under tremendous
pressure on a daily basis. This is compounded by the business wanting to grow further,
faster, and having a desire to exploit more new technologies to get there. In this
presentation, Graham explores the reasons why Data Integration is key to business
success – exploring how an Integration Competency Centre can help, and unfolding
Atos Origin’s view of the Enterprise Unlimited.
