Data migration: Checklist for avoiding common mistakes

A data migration can be a challenging project. In this webinar we look at what to watch out for when you're planning a migration, and show you some common pitfalls to avoid and some best practices to help your migration run smoothly.

We look at the 4 phases of a data migration:
- Strategy - Choosing your migration approach (big bang or trickle), and defining scope
- Plan - In-depth scoping, defining your tools and team, and the importance of documentation and planning for things going wrong
- Implementation - Which data should you process first? How to test properly, and how to communicate to your stakeholders
- Execution - Tips for automating as much as possible, and how to make sure your backups work
