One of the keys to a successful data migration project is ensuring that all your migration steps are automated, and therefore repeatable. When you are doing data conversion, you need to be certain that the steps taken are consistent. Even if in theory manual operations will only be performed once, in reality the best approach is to be able to do multiple runs of the extract from the source legacy systems- because this tests the process, and also avoids having to “do everything over the weekend.”

Take advantage of the datamartist data scratchpad to build automated transforms and data conversion tasks.

Datamartist is ideal for planning and prototyping data migration

• Convert and Clean data quickly
