Why is it not entering the realm of possibility for the migration system to function not at an API layer but at the levels of pixels and OCR and RPA to click through every possible interface within the ERP to export and structure the legacy data to complete a total migration? Like humans copying over the data manually?
- hef19898 3y agoBecause the migration has to be auditable. And the data fields between the systems / databases mapped against business processes, on both systems. If you find a solution to automate that, cudos...
- arach 3y agowould it be fair to suggest an automated migration solution (therefore less manual) might be more auditable than human driven? You'd probably start with a human in the loop solution but mapping should be a solvable problem
- hef19898 3y agoNo, from my experience it wouldn't be fair to say that. There is a reason why migration projects are yearlong, multi million projects. Go through one, ideally multiple, of those first before looking at automating any of that. Added benefit, jobs at those projects pay incredibly well for the functional consultants involved. And when, when not if, automation doesn't work out, you still don't have to worry about a job ever again.
