Migrating the CMS application data to the new CMS involves the execution of several steps to ensure a positive outcome. These efforts include the following: • Conducting a data inventory to identify all relevant data to be migrated. • Undergoing a requirements analysis to understand the requirements of the new platform, including data formats, structures, and compatibility. • Developing a migration strategy and detailed plan that outlines the approach, tools and timelines. • Mapping existing data structures to the new system to ensure all data is accounted for. • Developing data transformation rules to accommodate the required format of the new system. • Cleansing data to remove duplicates / unneeded data, correcting errors and standardizing formats. • Implementing security measures to ensure sensitive data is identified and protected throughout the process. • Identifying tools and developing custom scripts / programs as needed to support the migration. • Conducting tests to identify issues. • Developing reports, documentation, and metrics to confirm the data is migrated correctly and is accounted for. • Providing ongoing support post-migration to address any issues that may arise after migration.
