Why Are Data Migration Projects Such A Challenge?

Most technology executives are eager to migrate away from their old legacy data integration programs to mitigate risks and to reduce costs. Like most organizations, as business requirements have changed over time, it was easier to create post-processing add-ons rather than applying patches to the existing code because no one really understood how the code worked.

Over time, business rules and data structures have changed significantly, developers have moved on, and no one really understands how the legacy code works. Your code has grown into an undocumented and unmanageable asset that represents a real risk to your mission-critical applications.

The Bloor Research Study of the Global 2000 Companies* identified key issues behind the low success rate for data migration projects:

84% Failed To Meet Expectations

37% Experienced Cost Overruns

67% Not Delivered On Time

e-Biz Technologies Will Take the Pain and Risk Out Of Your Migration Project

Advancements in technology have a diminishing effect on the business value of older legacy based data integration code. Maintenance costs of legacy systems are becoming unreasonable, representing a significant portion of the IT budget. This code does not even come close to providing the many efficiencies and benefits offered by today's efficient data integration tools. So the CIO is left with a daunting task to update these systems while keeping their existing functionality intact.

Whether your migration project involves re-platforming existing code, re-architecting an entire system, or standardizing on a new ETL technology, the challenges remain. Migrations are arduous and painful. e-Biz Technologies will take the pain and risk out of your migration project. e-Biz Technologies has an integration application framework that brings together methodology and technology to deliver a world-class solution.
