Hi,

My company is upgrading to the latest ECC from SAP older version, in such a case we need to migrate all the data from old to new.

In such situation one would use migration tools available out in the market to cleanse and remove duplicates and import into ECC(both master and transaction).

1. Is it advisable to use SAP MDM in such a situation to migrate all the data handling the conversions instead of a standard migrating tool? I am not sure if MDM would be as expected to do a good migration job.

2. If MDM is preferred, then what is the best way to migrate the transaction data?

3. If SAP MDM is not prefered as a migration tool, rather use a standard migration mechanism, then I would say all the cleansing efforts would have already been completed by the migration tool, then we wouldn't require MDM to do the cleansing efforts.

Please correct me if I am analysis it the wrong way.

Appreciate all your responses.

Rgds,

Peter.

The data cleansing requirement will take place, while move the data from legacy system to new target ERP / system. I.e. need to cleanse, enrich, de-duplicate, & standardize.

The existing data may not have consistent format since it is often being derived from various sources. It may contain duplicate information as well missing or incomplete information. Cleanse and normalize content to achieve accuracy, consistency and proper understanding of the data.

Also it’s a process of organizing the data, which will ensure enrichment of your data which are up-to-date, accurate, and complete. These processes are manual / labor intensive and require a fair bit of specialization.

If you need to have more details please feel free to interact with us as per below.

Thanks
