Migration
We know that data migrations are complex. With our unique proven methodologies and tools, we identify issues with the legacy data, map the data from the legacy system to the new system and perform the necessary test migrations. Our involvement in the migration process does not end until we are confident that the production migration is successfully completed.
At xLM Solutions, we have developed best-in-class tools, products and solutions for successful data migrations, while working with the many PLM/PDM systems and enterprise technology solutions used by manufacturers. The xLM Solutions team is an expert in the following migrations:
- SmarTeam to 3DEXPERIENCE
- SOLIDWORKS PDM to 3DEXPERIENCE
- SolidWorks PDM Legacy Data Loading
- MatrixOne / 3DEXPERIENCE to SolidWorks PDM
- Others: Autodesk Vault, Adept, CoCreate — Work Manager, DB Works, Excel Spreadsheets, Microsoft SharePoint, Windows Explorer/Shared Folders
Launching a data migration project is a strategic time to review and evaluate business processes to determine if best practices and the most efficient operations are in place. Following such a review, we recommend the following steps for a successful data migration project:
- Analyze the data to be loaded
- Estimate effort and cost requirements
- Conduct a data cleanup (if applicable)
- Review migration methods
- Conduct 2-3 test migrations
- Plan for and conduct final production migration
