Data Migration

Seamlessly migrate your data with HPS's expert data migration services for Oracle Primavera. Our proven methodology ensures data accuracy and minimizes project delays.

Migrating to a new solution, or a new environment (e.g. moving from on premises to cloud) can often be a daunting task. From our experience, Data Migration is a crucial component that if not managed correctly can significantly delay or even derail a project. The Hyde Park Solutions team have years of experience and hundreds of successful data migrations, so who better to entrust your data migration process to?

Ensuring the quality of your project data is critical to getting the most out of your solution, and when migrating to a new tool or environment it gives you the opportunity to cleanse your existing data. Remember, if you put poor data into your tool, your reports will be inaccurate!

Typically, there are a few steps an organisation should begin to consider before the data migration process starts, these are:

review of the organisation data model
updating of current systems documentation
updating of documentation around data ownerships & relationships

Our migration approach is best shown in the diagram below, and highlights the distinct types of data: Master, Meta and Transactional data will both be required to be either uploaded to ensure the system has the dropdown fields required for users to select and transactional data for live projects including documents. Our process is:

The methodology itself consists of four phases, each consisting of a series of iterative processes that include analysis, processing, socialisation, and acceptance. The four phases are:

Data Assess

Identify and analyse the existing sources and uses of all candidate migration data. Determine what data is to be migrated.

Data Design

Ensure that all parties understand fully the data to be migrated, the source and eventual destination of each data item.

Data Construct

Review the exported data; identify any data quality issues and agree mediation steps; develop migration test policy; assist you in resolving data quality issues.

Data Implement

Agree and publish standardised reference data tables.

Rationalise core data to be migrated applying standardised reference data. Data is trial loaded into stage environment, reviewed and the final Go Live data load process is validated, and high-confidence cut-over times are established. Perform any transformations of core data; merging/summarising data where required. Load agreed reference data tables into Prod environment.
