ERP Data Migration 4

Question 1

What is the primary risk of performing a data migration cutover on a Monday morning during business hours?

Accepted Answer

Business activity is high and any issues immediately impact operations

Answer

Cutting over during peak business hours means any migration failures or data issues will immediately disrupt live business operations with no buffer time to resolve problems.

Question 2

In ERP data migration, what is a 'mock cutover' or 'rehearsal migration'?

Accepted Answer

A full end-to-end practice run of the cutover process before the actual go-live

Answer

A mock cutover rehearses the complete migration process—including ETL, validation, and reconciliation—in a non-production environment to identify timing issues and risks.

Question 3

Which data quality dimension refers to whether every required field in a migrated record contains a value?

Accepted Answer

Completeness

Answer

Completeness measures whether all mandatory fields in the migrated records are populated, preventing null values from causing ERP processing failures.

Question 4

What is a 'go/no-go' decision in ERP data migration?

Accepted Answer

A formal checkpoint to decide whether migration quality meets the threshold to proceed with cutover

Answer

The go/no-go decision is a formal review where project leadership evaluates migration test results and data quality metrics to authorize or postpone the live cutover.

Question 5

When migrating customer master data into an ERP, what is 'deduplication'?

Accepted Answer

Identifying and merging duplicate records to create a single, accurate customer record

Answer

Deduplication finds and consolidates duplicate customer records caused by multiple entries, name variations, or system mergers to ensure clean master data.
