NA CTO Insights: Historical data migration
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, talk about the complexities of migrating historical data with integrity during ERP migrations.
"We don’t just migrate data; we migrate a running business. When moving something like sales orders, all related data—payments, deliveries, customers, and items—must come across as well. Otherwise, functions like payment processing or customer records fail, creating critical gaps in the ERP system," - SNP Group NA CTO, Steele Arbeeny.
Arbeeny emphasizes that moving only individual datasets, like sales orders without the linked customer data, creates disconnections that break functionality in the new system. To address this, they explain how S&P’s specialized migration software uses “transformation content” to ensure data dependencies are preserved, effectively migrating not just data, but an operational business.
This approach maintains the structure of interconnected records, allowing transactions, like payments, to function seamlessly in the new ERP system.
