Data Migration
Data migration is the business critical activity of safeguarding the intellectual assets and achievements of a company /the company’s knowledge base/ when moving information.

The basic activity is transfer of data from one system to another, but the business situation can differ:
• To an upgraded version of the same system.
• To a completely new system (legacy system migration).
• Into /integrated with/ another company’s systems at a merger or acquisition.

In both cases, the critical issue/focal point/ is to preserve existing information.

Initially, many organizations we work with express concerns about the data migration they must perform [and are somewhat hesitant]. This is a sign of health, since it involves the company’s core competence and knowledge base for future the competitive edge of the company.

Eurostep helps customers transfer their data in a smooth way that allows for production to continue without any interruption during the migration.

Eurostep provides strategies, processes, advice and tools to support the efficient migration of information between software applications, for instance PDM and ERP systems.
