SAP ECC Implementation - Data Migration for Red Stripe in Jamaica
We did many full data migration projects for SAP ECC implementation, and one of them was for Red Stripe in Jamaica. This project covered a wide range of modules, including FI, CO, MM, SD, PP, QM and HR. We were responsible for migrating many master data objects. Also, we needed to fit into the project plan and deliver data at each phase of the project, from the quality system through acceptance to production.
Our SAP ECC Implementation Workflow with Data Migration Workbench
In projects where the source Legacy System is a different ERP (Navision in this case), master data requires many adjustments and data enrichment. In such cases, we recommend using Gather Files (interactive XLS templates) for data migration. They store data after initial extraction from the source system, allowing the company’s representative to work on its quality, enrichment, and cleansing.
For our SAP ECC implementation process, we have interactive and user-friendly Gather Files. Thus, we make it easier for businesses to adjust the data to the new system requirements. Our Gather Files contain all the necessary information and guidelines:
hyperlinks to lists of values allowed per field;
SAP Help for fields;
attributes like mandatory/optional;
data type;
field length; or
decimal places.
With our DMW as a validation and workflow tool, we could track the status of each object at any time during its course. At the same time, businesses were able to find most of the data errors prior to migration to SAP. This means there are less time and money spent on data migration. Furthermore, there are fewer iterations between IT and business to complete the process.
Key Benefits of SAPMD Data Migration Approach to SAP ECC Implementation
Less Time to Kick Off the Project
Before SAP ECC Implementation projects start, we have our Gather Files and LSMW projects ready, which reduces the development and build phases, thus, saving you time and resources.
Shorter Data migration cycle
Thanks to Data Migration Workbench validations, the data is already clean before the start of data load in the SAP system. As a result, it significantly reduces the time needed for the migration and the risks as well.
clear overview of all data migration aspects
Due to the reports and workflows built-in DMW, anyone can check the status of the data migration process.
