Jim Williams - De-Risking Data Migrations
We know that the marrying of Data Profiling, Cleansing and Integration tools with a proven robust methodology dramatically increases the number of data migration projects that come in on time and to budget.
But what does this mean in practice? This presentation shows how the truth of this has been born out in reality when the use of leading, built for purpose, software and the Practical Data Migration (PDMv2) methodology are combined to reduce risk and increase quality.
Jim brings 20 years’ experience in the data migration field, having worked as analyst, designer, auditor and project manager for the likes of IBM, Trillium Software, Datanomic, Informatica, X88 Software and now Experian on a wide range of projects in different lines of business in Europe, the Middle East, South Africa and the USA.

Nick Kelly - Data Migration Takes To The Cloud
We are all aware of the possibilities that the maturing technologies of the cloud and SaaS have to offer, but how many of us have used its obvious potential to create the scale on demand that Data Migration so desperately needs? In this presentation Nick will talk about the realities of using Amazon Web Services to build and test the ETL before porting to another cloud provider where the final solution will reside. This presentation will be garnished with lessons learned from a real life example although it has to be stressed that this is work in progress so contributions from the floor will be even more looked for than usual.
Nick has extensive technical experience in all aspects of data management having delivered projects for the likes of HSBC, RNLI, Barnardo’s, Thompson and Morgan, and HSS hire shops. His many years of technical experience include database development, data and network security, cryptography, Saas, PaaS, process automation, ETL and integration

Glen Vaal - A Matter of Quality
A key constituent of the Practical Data Migration methodology is the DQR (Data Quality Rules) process. This manages all data quality, data selection and data preparation issues for data migration projects. It turns the often fraught interaction between project and business community around the dreaded semantic issues into a harmonious productive relationship. Focusing on a single case study Glen will explain how he used this cornerstone of good data management in practice
Glen has getting on for 30 years experience in IT and has worked in many industry verticals from finance to health care. Currently Head of Applications Consultancy at Capita, Glen’s breadth experience means that he recognises a valuable tool when he sees it. Come find out how you too can add DQR to your kitbag of resources.
