6. The migration challenge

7. Good news: complexity
is hidden
• Cryptic source systems
• Massive data warehouses (tables, etc.)
• Complex transformations and logic
• Elaborate data models
• Complex reports and dashboards
7

8. 8
• Complex content
• Business merge and realign
• Platform and data source migration
Bad news: it's still

(almost) never
works

Unraveling content
• Reverse-engineer reports,
models, data sources, ETL, etc.
• Some content may be difficult
to access
• No consolidated view of what
content is still needed and used
• Audit data may be limited

11. 11
Where to even start?
• How do I scope this?
• Is the cost worth the benefit?
• What resources will I need?
• What components get refactored,
moved or archived?
• How long will it take?
• What are the risks?
• What are my business goals?
