How Deep Should You Dig? How Use Cases Affect Data Migration

At first glance, “We need to migrate the data” seems like a straightforward task. But what exactly should happen to the data after migration? The answer directly determines the extent of data transformation required and the complexity of the migration as a whole.

In this talk, we will examine three main use cases for migrated data. Using a single contract and its workflow as an example, I will show how the requirements for data structure and result validation change.

We will also discuss situations where the use case has not been clarified in advance. What risks does this create, and how can an analyst turn implicit expectations into specific migration requirements? The talk will be useful for business and systems analysts involved in data migration and information system implementation projects, as well as for data owners and project managers.
