Has your business outgrown Sage?

Are you planning to implement a new integrated finance system?

Are you wondering what data migration means and what impact it will have on your project(s)?

Are you a software partner who struggles to get clean data from clients at the right time?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, you are not alone.

Every year, thousands of companies go through the process of leaving Sage 50 Accounts and implementing a new integrated finance system. One of the activities that can make or break a successful project is the data migration - the process of taking data out of the old software system and importing it into new ones. Of all the aspects of a software implementation, data migration is the one that can cause the longest delays and the largest budget overrun.

In this jargon-free book, Amanda lays out nine key principles that underpin a successful data migration. Use it as a how-to MIGRATE handbook, or give it to clients to help them deliver the data you need in the right format and quality, on time.
