Infosys Data Migration for CDP
Accelerate customer data and preferences onboarding to Sitecore CDP
Customer data migration can be a complex and challenging process that requires careful planning and execution to minimize disruptions to business operations. During the migration process, there could be cases wherein user records are lost as well as compatibility issues resulting in downtime. Infosys Digital Customer Data Migration Accelerator automates the migration process, improves efficiency, reduces the risk of human error, and minimize loss of data. The migration tool can browse/select the directory from which the customer data file can be picked for uploading into the CDP. It uses a rule-based algorithm for different customer data templates/ format. Detailed logging can also be turned on to track the status (success/failed) of each customer while processing the records.
What are the benefits?
Migrating user data to a Customer Data Platform (CDP) without a migration tool presents challenges:
Data Extraction: Extracting data manually from legacy systems is error-prone, leading to inconsistencies and incomplete transfers.
Data Transformation: Transforming data from various formats without automated tools introduces human errors, resulting in incorrect profiles.
Time & Resources: Manual migration demands significant time and effort from IT and data teams, diverting resources from critical tasks and escalating costs.
Data Loss: The risk of data loss increases with manual processes, creating gaps in customer understanding and ineffective marketing.
Validation: Ensuring data accuracy and completeness without automated tools is difficult, leading to poor quality and misguided decisions.
Volume Handling: Migrating large datasets manually is cumbersome and prone to errors, causing performance issues and unmanageable processing times.
Compliance & Security: Ensuring data protection compliance during manual migration is complex, posing risks to data security and privacy.
Preference Mapping: Accurately mapping user preferences without tools can result in misalignment, poor customer experience, and hindered personalized marketing.
Post-Migration: Identifying and resolving issues post-migration without automated tracking tools can lead to ongoing data quality issues, affecting user satisfaction.
Thus, without a dedicated migration tool, migrating to a CDP compromises data integrity, increases costs, and prolongs timelines. Investing in appropriate tools ensures a smoother, more efficient migration process, mitigating risks and enhancing the transition to a CDP.
