Smooth Data Transition When Acquiring a Company With DataLark
Customer
The customer is an internationally acclaimed frontrunner in power sports merchandise, drive systems, and watercraft. The company’s unparalleled and unique offerings encompass marine drive systems and motors for go-karts and leisure aircraft.
The corporation's worldwide staff comprises an assembly of almost 20,000 enthusiastic and ingenious individuals.
Challenge
The customer’s reliable partner, a prominent company in the industry, specializes in developing and manufacturing electronic and mechatronic products. They offer advanced technological solutions and engineering services to the international vehicle sector.
With the customer's recent acquisition of the acquired company's assets, and the necessity to extract and transfer all relevant data from the existing systems to the customer's environment, certain challenges were encountered.
Solution
Driven by acquisition, the customer's key business objective was the precise migration of single DIRs, including their physical files and document structures, from the SAP ECC (EHP 7) system to the SAP (EHP 4) system. This rapid DMS migration aimed to seamlessly integrate these assets into current operations, ensuring continuity and efficiency. The urgency stemmed from the need to swiftly enable the customer's business users to seamlessly transition to the different SAP systems and continue their projects without disruption.
Project Goal
When companies merge or acquire new businesses, they often need to consolidate data from different sources into a unified platform. DataLark's mission was to conduct data migration with accurate replication of key records and ensure that the acquired business data was integrated smoothly.
Project Efforts
The project encompassed two phases — Extraction and Load.
