...Assessments Data Migration Service ETL Solutions Ltd How sure are you that you have the best practices and staff to make your project a success? Data Migration Service Assessments These second party assessments cover two areas: project assessment and staff competency. They may be used individually or together before the migration starts to define best practice, as a ‘rescue’ service when the project is not going to plan, or if it is felt guidance to prevent failure is needed. Issue Data migration is usually a component of an important business programme such as implementing a new application, a merger, acquisition or divestiture. Migrating critical business or technical data is not an everyday activity for most organisations. It is often an afterthought and considered a purely technical discipline. If the business does not own and mitigate risk in the delivery of a data migration it can have profound impact on the overall success of the project. Sixty percent of data migration projects over-run or fail for a variety of reasons. The way organisations operate, store and use their information and knowledge is complicated. The success of a new system from a technical and business perspective often depends on the movement of the data to the exact requirements of the business. Complicating matters further, stakeholders can be from all areas of the business and from external bodies such as regulatory authorities.

...MANAGE RISK 1. What is the purpose of the standard known as AS/NZS 4360: 2004 Risk? This Standard provides a generic guide for managing risk. This Standard may be applied to a very wide range of activities, decisions or operations of any public, private or community enterprise, group or individual. While the Standard has very broad applicability, risk management processes are commonly applied by organizations or groups and so, for convenience, the term ‘organization’ has been used throughout this Standard. This Standard specifies the elements of the risk management process, but it is not the purpose of this Standard to enforce uniformity of risk management systems. It is generic and independent of any specific industry or economic sector. The design and implementation of the risk management system will be influenced by the varying needs of an organization, its particular objectives, its products and services, and the processes and specific practices employed. This Standard should be applied at all stages in the life of an activity, function, project, product or asset. The maximum benefit is usually obtained by applying the risk management process from the beginning. Often a number of discrete studies are carried out at different times, and from strategic and operational perspectives. 2. Duty of care: is a legal obligation which is imposed on an individual requiring that they adhere to a standard of reasonable care while performing any acts that could foreseeably...
