Data Migration Concepts & Challenges

It sounds simple: "Data migration solutions extract data from a source system, correct errors, reformat, restructure and load the data into a replacement target system". It sounds simple, but poorly managed data migration is the most common cause of failure in implementing a replacement system.

Data migration is not a job to be taken casually. The data is an immensely valuable asset, built up over years of operations. The whole replacement project relies on successful migration. If the migration project runs into problems, the future of your company may be at stake.

Data Migration Concepts & Challenges explores the data migration problem. The examples are drawn from migrations of Customer Care & Billing systems, but the paper applies to any significant migration from a legacy application to a replacement package.

Telecom Revenue Assurance

It is common for telecommunications service providers who do not have effective revenue assurance tools to lose from 5% to 15% of total revenues. A one-time audit and overhaul of processes will provide rapid payback by identifying major leaks, but as systems and processes evolve following the audit, new leaks will appear.

In Telecom Revenue Assurance Jo Mills discusses the elements of a permanent reactive and proactive revenue assurance solution and an incremental approach to implement it. The paper touches on secondary benefits from such a solution in providing invaluable input to product development, sales, supplier management and network technology evolution.
