Classical data migrations are typically limited to master data and tend to cause multiple negative impacts on workflow and operating business units. Business processes that are still in progress need to be completed in the source system; the remaining parts must be recreated in the target environment. Consequently, business units must change the working procedure for those processes. Because historical data is not typically migrated, organizations must maintain the source system for data-retrieval purposes. And without this data readily available, the organization can’t fully benefit from the improved analytical capabilities of the new technology.

This paper explains the benefits of the SAP Accelerated Data Migration tool. This advanced tool, coupled with support from the SAP Services organization and SAP partners, lets you easily migrate and integrate application data from any legacy system into SAP applications – and reduce migration costs significantly.
