Data migration is a critical yet complex process in today’s digital transformation landscape. As organisations modernise, they must migrate data from outdated systems to faster, more secure platforms. This transfer process can disrupt business operations, making data migration both crucial and challenging. Dajon Data Management offers specialised data migration services, ensuring a smooth transition that minimises downtime and maximises data integrity.
What Is Data Migration?
Data migration is the process of moving data between different systems, formats, or locations. This process typically involves extracting data from a source system, transforming it to fit the new environment, and then loading it into a destination system. Data migration can range from simple database moves to complex transfers involving cloud, on-premise servers, or hybrid setups. As organisations adopt new technologies and seek to remain competitive, data migration becomes an essential step in modernisation.
Key Challenges in Data Migration
Data migration poses various challenges, making it a complex and resource-intensive task. Here’s why data migration can be challenging for IT teams:
1. Maintaining Data Quality and Integrity
Ensuring data remains accurate and complete during migration is essential. Common issues, such as data corruption, duplication, or loss, can result from poor quality checks. To ensure data integrity, careful planning and time are required.
2. Managing Downtime and Minimising Disruption
Organisations rely on uninterrupted data access for daily operations. During migration, however, systems may need to go offline, which can disrupt workflows. Minimising downtime is crucial, especially for global businesses where downtime can impact customer satisfaction and revenue.
3. Ensuring Security and Compliance
Data security is paramount, especially for sensitive information. With regulations like GDPR, compliance during migration is critical. A security breach during migration can expose confidential data, leading to legal repercussions and a loss of trust.
4. Navigating Complex IT Environments
Modern organisations often operate within complex IT environments with various platforms and data types. IT teams may lack the specialised knowledge required to handle diverse systems and formats, making compatibility a challenge during data migration.

For 15 years, The GI Physiology Unit had been using long, paper-based questionnaires to capture clinical information from patients on their health-related problems.
Dajon came up with a solution on how to easily capture data from the new questionnaires and convert these into meaningful information.
