Automated Data Migration for Cloud Transition

This case study outlines the challenges faced by a tech company during a merger and acquisition scenario, particularly focusing on data migration and consolidation. The company dealt with incompatible versions, heterogeneous vendor storage, and complex data ownership issues. Data Dynamics provided an automated, policy-based file data migration solution to facilitate a seamless transition to the cloud. The study details the significant challenges, including limited outage windows for data migration, intricate data integration, and the risks associated with invalidated clinical trial data, which could incur substantial penalties. The implemented solution led to a 96% reduction in customer outage time and achieved 100% ROI. Furthermore, the integration of acquired companies' data improved dramatically, reducing the process from 30 days to just one day. The case study emphasizes the importance of automated data migration in enhancing efficiency, reducing costs, and ensuring compliance with data governance standards.
