High-risk scenarios
There are several scenarios, which could introduce more risk to the data migration workstream if they aren't managed appropriately. A risk is also if the project timeline doesn't allow for sufficient discovery, design, development, and testing. These scenarios include:
- When the customer takes ownership for the entire data migration workstream without appropriate engagement from the partner
- Product renumbering (change management for users, master data changes, and opening balance changes to adhere to a new scheme)
- New chart of accounts
- Overly complex data migration team structure
- Not planning for dress rehearsals/mock cutovers
