Data Migration

BackOffice Associates, LLC has a proven methodology for managing the process of migrating your data into SAP®. If you have done a complete analysis of your implementation risks you will know the impact of your data on your new SAP system. Be aware that your systems integrators have probably excluded data cleansing from their scope and responsibility. As a result, your organization is responsible for one of the greatest risk factors of your project. Without good, clean data, your SAP implementation will fail.

Allow BackOffice Associates™ to take full responsibility for your data, manage the process and mitigate the risks. None of our clients has ever experienced a project delay resulting from data related issues!

We bring the methodology, the tools, and the experience to your project. We do not use segmented or artificially created test data. We use your actual data - and all of it. This process of data dialysis and loading means there will be no surprises when you reach production. Getting data loaded early and often in a project is the key to our success. Our customers not only get a better understanding of SAP, they get more realistic testing and training because they can use real data during the testing and training procedures.

BackOffice Associates can size and supply a team to provide you with any level of assistance deemed necessary. Our migration trainers and consultants can train your staff, provide flexible coaching options during any portion of your project or we can build a specific targeted team to handle your entire migration. Your employees will go through extensive training and assessment to ensure their readiness for your new system and the result will be a flawless migration and an ERP system that performs to your expectations.

BackOffice Associates consultants are business process oriented. Our primary role on a data migration project is to integrate your legacy data into your new business processes in SAP. This integration requires SAP knowledge, business process knowledge and a great deal of experience in dealing with the issues typically found in legacy systems.

We have seen it all: duplicated customers, unused vendors, missing Bills of Materials, sales order in one system, A/R in another. Usually we are dealing with disparate applications. Yet the goal is always the same: create a single business-ready view of each data record and element.

Together with your business process team, our consultants can manage the process of the data migration from end to end.
