 Example Data Migration Best Practices
Taken From Capgemini's DELIVER Methodology

DELIVER Data Migration Methodology

DELIVER: A tested methodology developed
globally, based on a structured approach
for the migration and quality improvement
of data.

Focus Areas:
• Data Discovery helps to determine
issues with data in an early stage and
gives information needed to define
conversion rules of higher quality.
• Frequent “Trial Conversions” or “Mock
Migrations” are executed and tested
against controls in order to provide quality
and completion.
• Data mapping and cleansing leverages
accelerators through a data migration
factory model.
• Data controls are put in place up front
in order to quantifiably measure the
success of a data conversion, which is
critical to the “Go/No Go” moment in the
project.
