Protecting Your Assets During Software Migrations

‍

When implementing new software, there is a number of inherent safety and security risks. Organizations and the stakeholders involved will therefore strive to safeguard their data during the migration process.  

One major risk is data breaches, which can occur when data is transferred between systems. These breaches often result from inadequate encryption, insecure networks, or unauthorized access. Another critical concern is data loss, where information might be lost or corrupted during the migration process. Additionally, compliance risks arise when organizations fail to adhere to regulatory standards during migration, leading to potential legal repercussions.  

Such potential risks can arise from the approach frequently applied in software migration projects: Often there are a lot of people involved executing a lot of manual steps, and even the composition of the project delivery team might change during the process. People might be working on the project at different places around the globe, drawing data onto their laptops, manipulating and editing them. Also, in software migration projects oftentimes many different tools are used, each with different data storage and access concepts. As a consequence of all this, there is no consistent overview and logging of where which data is located.

One of the key properties of conemis migration software ctc is that it delivers consistency in managing and automating the migration process. This means that fewer people are involved in the migration project from the start. Furthermore, data does not travel around the globe via laptops, and no different tools with different logins are used while data is transferred from source to target systems. Instead, there is one central location with clearly regulated access and access rights management that holds all data securely. Plus, with the ctc audit trail everything is logged: Users will always know where the data is, and the migration process can be tracked for all records and at any given time.
