Data migration is the name given to the process of moving data from one location or format to another location or format. A data migration project can be small, such as migrating data from one server to another, or large, such as migrating all of the data from your current system into a new one. It can also be complex, requiring careful planning and coordination between multiple parties.
Data migration may be needed as part of an upgrade project when you need to move from a legacy system to a newer, more efficient system. It may also be required when there are changes in business processes that require some data to be moved to new locations. This is often done when upgrading servers or moving systems between companies or departments within an organization.

Data migration is the process of moving data from one location or format to another location or format. This can be from a different server, from one database to another, from a SQL database to an XML file, etc. It’s all about getting data from one place to another.
You might have outgrown your current hosting platform, and need to move your website to a more robust environment. Perhaps you’ve purchased a new computer system that can handle more processing power than your old one. Or maybe you’re simply changing web developers, so you need all of the files from your current developer transferred over to their new server.
Whatever the reason, data migration is an important part of any online business that wants to keep its customers happy and running smoothly.
The first step in the data migration process is to define the goals of the migration. When you’re migrating data, it’s important to be clear about the goals of your migration. If you are simply trying to move your data from one cloud storage provider to another, then it will be much easier than if you need to migrate from a legacy system into a new cloud-based system.
When defining your goals, consider:
If, for example, you’re moving data to a new system that will replace an existing one, then the migration is a zero-downtime process. You can’t take the old system offline while clients are using it or risk losing data.
In this case, you’ll need to use a technique called incremental replication that allows clients to continue reading from the old database while new changes are being replicated from the old to the new database.
Another common scenario is when you need to move data from one database platform (for example, SQL Server) to another (for example, MySQL). In this case, there may be no downtime involved at all as long as both platforms support compatible APIs and protocols for accessing data (in this case ODBC).
If you have a larger project where you’re migrating an entire organization’s worth of data into a new system without taking down any servers or applications during the process, then we recommend using Azure Data Factory with Azure SQL DW/BI tools like Power Query and Power BI Desktop.
SAP migration is the process of transferring data from one system to another. The main objective behind migrating data from one system to another is to improve productivity and reduce costs.
Companies using SAP need SAP-SAP and SAP-Non-SAP data migration for various processes. To understand why businesses are moving from one ERP solution to another, we need to look at the benefits of SAP migration.
We understand that your business is unique and has a specific set of requirements. For example, you may have multiple systems with different versions of SAP. You may also have the need to move data between on-premise and cloud environments, or between different versions of SAP. At MDP, we offer a wide range of services that can help you migrate your data to the latest version of SAP or any other system.
Our expertise lies in migrating data from one version to another and also from one application environment to another – be it on-premise or cloud. We have successfully migrated large volumes of data from one environment to another without affecting business continuity or performance.
