To ‘guarantee’ the result of the final data migration, the main cut-over and system go-live deployment, the expected result should be known beforehand
This is possible through automation and repetition. Our toolsets have been through many cycles of development over the years with those two goals in mind, the end result will be as expected.
Studies by Gartner show over 83% of data migration projects fail outright, or exceed their budget or schedule. Bloor Group put the outright failure rate at 38%.
DataMC has proven, tried and tested methodologies in place to mitigate risks and delays, make sure you are in the 17% and not the 83%
BIDM – Business Integrated Data Migration aims to:
- Integrate the business and data owners from the very beginning
- Continue strong communications through to the final deployment
- Circumvent or isolate any issue that could potentially jeopardise the project
- Fully transparent data migration process
DM REVOLVE is the gatekeeper. It tracks, schedules, records, and reports all stages of Data Migration
- DataMC’s ground breaking proprietary data migration toolset
- Powered by BIDM methodology
- Developed over decades by industry experts
Above all else DataMC prides itself on good customer relations. To ensure success it is without a doubt the most important aspect of any data migration. Even above the tech and toolset wizardry, our relationship with the client is our number one priority.
The pinnacle of DataMC’s automated toolsets. Our revolutionary GOM (Graphics-O-Matic) interface encapsulates all other DM REVOLVE tools and immerses the user in the world of data migration

Problems can be spotted quickly. Tracking shows the history of objects throughout the project. Relevant parties are informed when objects reach each stage of the process. WOM makes the process transparent, and accountable.
POM – selection criteria from the legacy source is used to obtain the data set, this is used to create the data objects. The following information for each object is recorded here
Data source and table names
The SQL selections
Description of the object
Any other notes
Once the data has been extracted, the data owner checks it against the expected data set, then signs off to progress to the next stage.
MOM takes the selection criteria and performs mapping from source to target fields. Required translations & data quality checks are identified along with any data quality issues. Once mapping has been completed it is submitted for
Review
Approval (on to the next stage)
Refinement (goes through the MOM cycle again)
The ROM is a verification and data quality tool used for showing
Number of records
Data quality of the objects
Each object is given a breakdown, reports are generated for
Errors and the number of fields affected
Any exception encountered along with the severity
Individual errors for each record and field if needed
Refreshed nightly to show the latest view of the data
TOM empowers the data owners to ensure all translations are completed and correct. This is an important step in improving data quality and ensuring a seamless migration.
All the data translations take place in TOM and are tracked and updated. If you need legacy fields updating from say Red to R, and Blue to B then this is the place to do it. All results can be easily exported and checked over if needed.
TOM is also the place to perform inflight data duplication cleansing.
File-O-Gen generates load files from stored model tables, these are ready for import into the target system. Once generated the loads can be tested daily, this leads to
Fast generation of structured files
Catching and correcting errors BEFORE loading the data
Repetition of the load
Automation and predictability

Four systems into one. Vastly different source systems. Running in parallel with a P&R implementation. (and other issues too numerous to mention). All with hard deadlines.
I have seen some good migrations and some very bad ones. I think this effort is certainly the best I’ve seen.
