You may have seen the feedback from Gartner already: “The JiVS approach to switch to SAP S/4HANA is game-changing”. But this statement also rings true for other software environments, as JiVS is designed to work with any source system and any target system, not just SAP – it’s compatible with JD Edwards, Navision, and Baxter, to name but a few. But what makes it a game-changer? And why is it the answer for simpler data migration? Find out in this blog.
Each company’s system landscape is unique, and an upgrade to a new system release, the integration of multiple systems following a merger or acquisition, or the move to a brand-new system environment all involve the inevitable task of migrating company data. What’s so special about the JiVS information management platform is that it can be customized to adapt to every customer and every system, and provides a simplified data migration approach that’s broken down into just a few steps: Housekeeping, Identify, Design, Transform, and Operate.
Housekeeping
If you move house, you clean up first, right? You need to do the same with your existing systems, and JiVS has the tools for the job. In this step, by cleansing the data, any duplications, outdated and inaccurate data are all removed, which is indispensable for the smooth and efficient running of the new system.
Identify
During this next step, there’s a huge opportunity to reduce the ever-increasing volumes of data distributed across multiple systems. All you need to do for each source system is identify what data is to be archived and what data you want to take with you to the new environment. This means you’ll be able to simply switch off your legacy systems, reduce your data footprint, and lower the operating costs of your IT infrastructure.
Design
Once you’ve identified your historical data and your operational data, you can design very specific filtering criteria to separate it. Smart automation technology is incorporated into the JiVS platform to accelerate and simplify this process for you.
Transform
Before transferring the data to its new home, it will need to be transformed and harmonized. As JiVS is compatible with any source and target system, the transformation is customized to the individual and unique requirements of your data migration project.
Operate
Welcome to your new home – a lean and “clean” system environment where you can manage all your operational processes. Your data has been transferred at the click of a button and is now ready to use. All the GDPR data retention requirements are met as you still have access to your archived data, so you have peace of mind that you’re fully compliant. And you can harness the many new-age technologies that will support your transformation to an intelligent and composable enterprise.
At Data Migration International, we understand the pain involved for companies needing to migrate their data, which is why we developed JiVS to enable a radically simpler data migration process for all systems. Housekeeping, Identify, Design, Transform, and Operate – it’s that simple.
