Course Overview
Learn SAP Data Migration from Planning to Go-Live
Understand the processes used to move reliable, accurate and complete business data from legacy applications or source systems into SAP target systems.
What Is SAP Data Migration?
SAP data migration is the structured process of extracting, assessing, cleansing, mapping, transforming, loading and validating data as part of an SAP implementation, system conversion or landscape change.
Migration scope may include business partners, customers, suppliers, materials, financial balances, open transactions, assets and other business objects, depending on the project.
Successful migration requires collaboration between business teams, functional consultants, technical teams and data owners.
