Interesting post from John Morris in his BCS blog last week regarding the announcement of Indian technology services giant Wipro and their move to standardise on Informatica’s new Data Migration Suite offering.
Wipro have announced a factory approach to data migration that claims to enable a large element of the migration work to be implemented offshore for reduced costs.
John raises some interesting issues and questions about these kind of initiatives and his post is well worth a read.
On a practical note - has your organisation ever implemented this kind of solution to data migration?
If so, what kind of issues did you find when geographically outsourcing data migration projects?
What worked well? What didn’t go as planned? Would you repeat again?
This is an important topic and one that is no doubt on the mind of many a senior IT or business leader aiming to cut costs and scale their projects.
If you have any lessons to share from practical experience of data migration outsourcing, please share them here or in the Data Migration Pro strategy group.
February 29th, 2008 — Community
To make Data Migration Pro a truly global community we have launched a new feature on the site where members can create their own regional groups.
Imagine you live in Sydney, Australia and want to develop a local or regional community that meets online or offline to discuss and support each other on a common aim. You now have everything available here on Data Migration Pro to make that a reality.
Our event management facilities can inform members (and non-members) of event location, date and time. We can even manage the event registration process for you!
Provided the focus of the group is relevant to the goals of Data Migration Pro we will provide you with as much support as you need to get your community off the ground.
