Data migrations

Experienced with many billing & rating and customer-care and mediation implemtation projects coming with large scale data migrations, I became a partner in great demand with telecommunications enterprises and banks and with the manufacturers of the systems.

Consistantly I am contacted by system suppliers such as Convergys or system integrators like Accenture, Dannet (Devo Team), AMS or T-Systems as well as telecommunication enerprises like german telecom (Deutsche Telekom) or France Telecom to advise and support them with their plans and intentions related to data migrations within a billing&rating or customer-care implementation project.

Our services start with feasibility studies, the analysis of the source systems and the data and continue with the production of migration strategies and migration concepts, as well as decision advise papers for the management .
The concepts for migration are refined in each step, beginning with the requirement analysis and the migration strategy followed by functional specifications and technical specifiactions, data mapping and data cleansing. About my services related to data cleansing read more on the following page more»

Also on existing systems, which are not going to be replaced the data quality can be improved and the occurance of new data errros can be prevented by a row of quality measures of technical and organizational kind. About data quality management services read more here»

In summary I have got 11 years of experiece in running data migrations for mobile and fixed-net opertors, cable-tv providers and internet and content providers. At 9 projects I have been direclty involved and working on data migration on all levels of detail. Thr range has been data analses, scripting, functional specifications, migration stratgies, ‘how-to’ guides, statements of work and team lead.

In summary across all projects around 6,125 billion records (6,125,000,000) have been migrated. The pass rate always has been 99,98% or above. One real-life example: On a internet-provider’s data migration just sixteen single records remained rejected, which had to be handled and processed manually – out of the total migration volume of one billion records.

We are happy to advise you with the planning and running of your data migration project and to attend it from the first step of evaluation and feasibilty study to the successful go live.
