Why migrations fail

Six root causes of data migration failure

Migration failures are rarely isolated technical errors; planning, process, and organizational gaps often compound.

🗑️

Dirty data and neglected quality

Duplicates, missing values, and inconsistent notation are carried into the new system when data meaning and quality are not checked first.

🔲

The trap of “keep the current way”

Undocumented operating rules are missed, and essential business functions are discovered only during testing.

🔢

Underestimating structural differences

SAP and other systems require business rules such as load order and units; simple table-to-table mapping is not enough.

⏱️

Insufficient testing and rehearsal

A rehearsal must measure processing time and errors with production-like data, not only confirm the sequence of steps.

🚪

Delayed rollback decisions

Define Go/No-Go criteria and decision owners in advance so the rollback window is not lost.

🔒

Vendor lock-in and lost portability

Closed extraction methods and formats restrict future migration and data-use options.

See the migration process for step-by-step guidance.

Why consultants matter

Risks experts help prevent

Data migration spans business, organization, technology, and decision-making. Consultants reduce blind spots from four perspectives.

1

Bridge between business and IT

Business teams must decide whether customer records and prices are valid. An outside consultant creates the structure to involve them.

2

Turn tacit knowledge into explicit requirements

Interviews and process visualization uncover operational knowledge and prevent gaps between design documents and the live system.

3

Migration planning and risk management

Predefine Go/No-Go criteria, rollback procedures, and incident contacts so decisions remain stable on cutover day.

4

Change-management support

Prepare manuals, FAQs, and training so users can adopt the new system with confidence.
