Structuring your project, assembling your team, and estimating effort
The Prepare phase focuses on getting your transformation project right. Using our DCS Analyze software, we identify transformation requirements, detect necessary data cleansing needs, and define the optimal migration strategy.
Together, we structure the project, assemble the right team, and develop a clear roadmap with realistic milestones. Through systematic planning, accurate cost estimation, and early stakeholder involvement, we create a solid foundation for a smooth and efficient transformation.
In the Prepare phase, your project is set up, with all roles and responsibilities clearly defined and the approach for the upcoming phases established. The goal: Ensuring the best possible preparation for a successful transformation!
How the Data Conversion Suite improves your data quality
The Data Conversion Suite ensures long-term data integrity – whether in preparation for, during, or after a transformation.
-
Automated data quality assurance
DCS Analyze quickly and efficiently assesses the current state of your data through precise and detailed checks (Quality Assurance Service (QAS)). The data validation, quality measurement, and integrity assessment are fully automated from both a content and technical perspective.
-
Identify, cleanse, and avoid duplicates
DCS Analyze optimizes your data by performing rapid analyses, cleansing data, and identifying duplicates. These duplicates are either removed or reviewed, corrected, and linked as needed. The goal: seamless, cross-application data consistency.
-
Identify, correct, and prevent data inconsistencies
The powerful DCS Analyze provides detailed inconsistency analysis of your data and helpful recommendations for action.
-
Visualize data quality and processing operations
With the help of our partners Celonis and Signavio, we visualize your business processes, identifying inconsistencies and inefficiencies before your data transformation. Anomalies are corrected, and processes are standardized or optimized for maximum efficiency.
-
Harmonize, cleanse, and maintain master data
With our analysis and migration tools, we support data cleansing and harmonization projects. Whether it's cleaning, harmonizing, or consolidating various databases – from suppliers, contractors, and vendors to a unified chart of accounts and eliminating system inconsistencies – the Data Conversion Suite handles it all quickly, efficiently, and without downtime.
-
Design, implement and operate SAP Master Data Governance (MDG)
Using powerful tools, we analyze, manage, and optimize your master data management – from data capture and utilization to ongoing operations. Natuvion provides everything you need, including expert consulting, implementation, and the necessary tools.
Results of the Prepare phase
Project goals and scope are defined and a detailed project plan is created.
An overarching framework of policies, processes, structures, and responsibilities is defined. This ensures that your project can be managed effectively, transparently, and successfully.
Potential risks and challenges have been identified. Risk minimization strategies have been developed.
Project teams have been formed with clear roles and responsibilities, and all relevant stakeholders have been involved.
In a series of workshops, business requirements and processes were analyzed, understood and documented. All in-house developments and interfaces were inventoried.
Technical requirements and infrastructure were analyzed. Necessary system configurations and adjustments were planned. Test concept, test strategy and test cases were defined.
The necessary migration tools and processes are in place to efficiently extract, transform, and load data.
The data assets have been analyzed and the structure, quality, and relevance of the data have been evaluated. Redundant, obsolete, or erroneous data has been identified and a plan for cleansing it has been developed. A mapping document has been created that describes how the existing data will be transferred to the new environment. This includes the mapping of fields and data formats.
A detailed roadmap of next steps and milestones has been created. The roadmap is aligned with the expectations of all stakeholders.
A detailed migration strategy has been created that defines the migration process, including timeframes, resources, and tools. All steps and decisions are documented in an audit-proof manner.
