This past week SAP provided this data migration webcast to ASUG.
Abstract provided by SAP:
In this session we learned about the Rapid Data Migration package, which is combining SAP’s Rapid Deployment Solutions (RDS) with SAP Data Services and SAP Information Steward software. Ready and pre-built for SAP’s cloud solutions Customer on Demand and SuccessFactors Employee Central, it provides a standardized and successful approach to planning, designing, and implementing data migration projects.

Data migration is a challenge for all companies, but there are differences with cloud.
Data migration projects can be budget busters and run over time and budget.
Move to cloud for low predictable cost of ownership.

SAP’s Data Migration solution includes Cloud for Customer and migration for SuccessFactors Employee Central.
It eases the process of moving into cloud applications – migration from on premise to cloud. It includes pre-built content. It corrects, validates to provide usable data.

It includes software from SAP, special content to accelerate project management as well as the specific pace and service offerings (fixed price, fixed scope) – SAP point solutions.
Content, in the case of data migration, includes pre-built validation for back end SAP and migration content for a wide range of business objects in back end and toolset for data enrichment.
