Data migrations often fail due to underestimated complexity. This talk explores a critical, large-scale migration at a major ERP company that demanded high performance, reliability, and aggressive timelines.

We'll describe novel techniques including efficient bulk data transfer, table-driven approaches, functional prototyping, and a unique application of IV&V for robust testing. Learn how algorithms developed in distributed systems research solved real-world problems in legacy system modernization.

Discover strategies to implement reliable migration techniques and meet tight deadlines. This talk offers valuable insights for data engineers, architects, and development leaders facing migrations of any scale.
