90 minutes in ERP Data Migration : Basics & Risk Mitigation

One of my mysteries was why so few books on data migration are available . I know there are quite a lot of people working in ERP data migration projects, so in order to fill this demand-supply gap in data migration education, I decided to create this course.

ERP(SAP) data migration is becoming one of the riskiest area, and huge losses are reported in newspapers, as a result of failure in data migration.

The  purpose of this course is  (1) to provide those who are new to data migration with basic knowledge for ERP data migration so that they can survive in the project, and (2) to suggest risk mitigation plans for ERP projects, which are for PM's and experienced people in data migration projects.  Also, I strongly recommend (3)the business users who are assigned to ERP development courses to watch this course, because the involvement/commitment by the business users is key to the successful data migration.  Please find the course structure below.

• Data Migration Overview & Basics (Transaction vs Master Data, Data Migration before & after ERP, etc)

• Requirement Definition ( Tips for Legacy System Investigation, Risk Mitigation Plans for Masters & Transactions, Mapping Definition, etc)

• Design ( Design for Pre-Load Verification Program & Post-Load Verification Program, etc)

• Testing ( Migration Rehearsal, Sample Check, Verification for Calculated Items, etc)

Since there was no popular / reliable sources in this topic, all the contents are based on my work experiences, so this course might sound a bit subjective, compared with other system related courses. Also, I am mainly working in Japan, my explanation might have some cultural bias.

You can view the first Introduction section without paying costs, so please watch the free contents first, and decide whether to enroll, if this course is relevant to your career.

Waiting for you in my course!
