Data migration can be a difficult task to perform particularly by the organisation that owns the legacy system, as it is a role rarely performed and generally with little process, methodology or tools accessible to the internal participants.

Lonispace employ a methodology that assures our customers of a robust, extensible and error free migration architecture based on both tried and best practice approaches that have evolved from a range of migrations completed in the Financial Services markets in Australia. Some of the key attributes we focus on in the migration are:

THE DISCOVERY PHASE - Provides a detailed analysis of all key artifacts within the migration strategy
• Business Requirements to be supported
• Functional Operations that exist
• The Security and Data Protection Requirements
• The existing Solution Architecture
• The Solution Services Levels to be supported
• Any Common Data Model (CDM)
• The External Interface Support Requirements
• The Audit and Logging Requirements
• Exception Management
• The Migration Success Criteria

THE MIGRATION SOLUTION - Matches the items above against our best practice framework and recommends where necessary any technology or process changes
• A Migration Gap Analysis
• The Migration Architecture
• Security Realisation
• Service Level Realisation
• Adapters and External Interfaces
• Potentially a Common Service Interfaces (CSI) and Common
   Data Model (CDM)
• Functional Operations
• Audit and Logging Requirements
• Exception Management (overall techniques, degrading re-try's,
   logging, etc.)
• Migration Success Verification (i.e. reports and other items
   that are required to prove that the migration worked)

THE DETAIL DESIGN - Provides a forward looking architectural framework that supports your current migration strategy and highlights any potential risk factors in the framework. The detail design migration includes items such as; proposed tool set, dictionaries, transformation, enrichment, schema's, common object model, source translation, cleansing, harness types, exceptions, security, deployment, source control, libraries and test plans etc.

THE IMPLEMENTATION PHASE - Defines the key sections for deployment typically, Development, System Test, UAT and Production, further the key elements of deployment are defined, as well as the security model, global variables and specific instructions for the tools and applications selected for the migration. Within the key component architecture, elements such as, source systems, target systems, test harnesses, transformations and interfaces are further defined to name but a few of the key elements in the implementation phase for data migration.
