Data setup and configuration are critical in the implementation and require careful preparation and planning. There is a risk of losing or corrupting data with any migration, mostly if you are consolidating and standardizing data from various applications. Whether to transfer data manually or use automated processes, both can have advantages. Entering data manually into a new system allows the customer to cleanse obsolete data.
On the other hand, automation can make the process much faster and less tedious. Whichever method you use, it is important to validate data after setup and configuration to make sure it was transferred to the new system correctly.
