Data migration is the process of moving required volume of data from

existing systems to new systems. Existing systems can be anything from

custom-built IT infrastructures to spreadsheets and standalone databases.

Data migration encompasses all the necessary steps to cleanse, correct

and move data into a new system. Technological changes, change in

providers, software updates or data warehousing/data mining projects

make such delicate and critical operations necessary. Some key terms in

understanding data migration are:
