Compliant Data Migration Solutions

Data migration is the process of transferring data between two or more storage types.

The transfer can occur between different formats or different computer systems. This is a straightforward concept, but it can get complicated when formatting requirements vary between the source and destination and if your data has regulatory compliance implications.

Common Pitfalls of Data Migration

Migration can take different forms: migrating to or within the cloud, on-premise, from a database or application, or storage-only migration. Whatever requirements you identify, a data migration plan is essential. It is rarely a simple copy; there is almost always data mapping, transformation, or conversion that must take place along with verification.

USDM can help clarify all of this in your data migration plan.
