NA CTO Insights: Why is data size important?
In this insightful discussion in this #wbsrocks podcast episode of @ElevatIQ, SNP Group Chief Technology Officer in North America, Steele Arbeeny, and ERP thought leader Sam Gupta, discuss why data size is a crucial consideration for ERP migrations.
Arbeeny breaks down how the speed limitations of infrastructure — whether on-premises or cloud — directly impact the time needed to migrate large volumes of data. This conversation highlights the importance of understanding the relationship between data size and downtime, especially for businesses with high transactional volumes.
"We're working with a large software provider globally who also runs a very high volume online store, (...), you're talking about an outlier system tremendous data volume, you're not going to make this in a weekend, not even in a week, with a traditional migration. A week downtime is is not even open for discussion, so it has to take downtime minimization requirements," - SNP Group NA CTO, Steele Arbeeny.
For some companies, a weekend of downtime may be manageable. But for others, such as a major software provider with high daily online transactions, minimizing downtime is essential, as extended interruptions could lead to significant revenue loss. This video offers valuable insights into balancing data volume, downtime, and business continuity to ensure a smooth ERP migration.
