Data Migration Challenges
Migrating data can pose several problems for enterprise teams, turning an exciting new opportunity into a potentially risky endeavor. If you don’t execute the process correctly, you can lose or corrupt data, which can lead to unplanned downtime, data integrity issues, and even security breaches. Many teams find the process of creating a reliable transfer system to be daunting. In some cases, they need to bridge gaps across varying data formats, different platforms, and mismatched structures, making it difficult to standardize strategies.
The Complexity of Modern Data Environments
The complexity of modern data environments lies mostly in the fact that they are diverse in their structure, contents, and scale. Depending on the industry, modern data environments could be integrating data from educational record systems, IoT scanners on a warehouse floor, or a variety of other sources.
Because of this complexity, modern data teams require sophisticated solutions to make sure integrations can occur without unintended side effects. In some industries like healthcare, the health and safety of patience relies on data integrity, and compliance standards demand excellent security measures. Across industries, high data volume necessitates a fast and efficient data environment.

In order to migrate to Microsoft Fabric using WhereScape’s data automation solution, follow a strategic process of planning and execution.
Planning Your Migration
The planning phase should include the development of a strategic migration roadmap and the creation of a realistic timeline. This is also a good time to agree on success criteria so that all team members are on the same page about ideal outcomes.
Next, analyze your current data environment to identify all the data sources that require migration. Take the time to address any industry regulations that govern your data, especially if you work with sensitive patient data or student data.

Overcoming Common Migration Pitfalls
The most common mistakes teams make when approaching a data migration are inadequate planning, insufficient testing, and trying to use low-quality data. Without a comprehensive migration plan, it’s all too easy to end up with an incomplete data transfer or a set of discrepancies. Migration also requires thorough testing before, during, and after the migration in order to address errors and inconsistencies as soon as possible.
Anticipating Challenges
By testing and planning before you begin your migration process, you can anticipate future challenges and address them before they cause irreparable damage to your business and your data. Address all regulatory requirements, accessibility concerns, and potential workflow disruptions before you begin the migration process. These steps will allow you to keep your data protected while keeping up with compliance measures.
