Executive summary.
Durham University undertook a Digital Transformation Programme to modernise their ERP capability to a cloud solution. We were engaged with part way through the project to take over management and delivery of the Data Migration workstream that was not delivering to plan. Within a short time frame, we mobilised and delivered DM to plan enabling Durham University to go-live on their new SaaS solution with minimal impact.

binary10 in the Durham University program, it's difficult to understate their contribution. They came to us when we were working through data migration in the design process, and we realised that there was quite a Herculean challenge. They were able to get up to speed really quickly. They have the most amazing toolkit and people who know how to drive that toolkit.

Key delivery factors.
Our target was to revisit and refine the initial DM Scope and Strategy, and complete 5 DM Cycles within 6 months to point of Cutover.
We quickly identified several data quality issues utilising our tool to analyse the data and worked closely with business and operations teams to aid correction of data on legacy systems before migrating.
The DM scope covered Financials modules GL, AR, AP, FA and Cash Management.
Utilizing a Core DM Team made up of a combination of binary10 consultants, Durham University Business SME’s and Systems Integrator for Data Loading, we successfully completed the data migration to agreed standards and timescales using the binary10 methodology and toolset.
We utilised additional target Oracle instances as part of UAT and Live load to reduce risk on key data load activities.
binary 10 helped our team to identify the data that would need to be captured in the future. And that that in itself is quite a challenge and binary10 really brought their expertise and ability to work alongside stakeholders to come up with solutions together.
