In practice, many of the considerations that apply to SAP data migrations are no different from those that pertain generally to non-SAP environments. However, there are some particular requirements that apply to SAP implementations, which we will discuss.

Successful data migration requires the use of appropriate tools and methodologies, best practices, and expertise, and it is on these factors that we focus in this white paper. While there are some specific requirements for SAP environments that go beyond those that might be necessary for other data migration scenarios, the details and discussion points in this paper otherwise apply to any data migration project.
