Why Cloud Migration Matters
Cloud data storage and management are now the gold standard, with at least 96 percent of organisations using cloud computing in some form. A well-planned cloud migration delivers scalability, cost savings and resilience, provided the data being moved is clean and accurate. A careful cloud migration also reduces downtime and keeps your teams productive throughout the move.
What Is Bad Data?
Bad data is flawed, inaccurate or inconsistent information that can negatively affect a business. During cloud migration, bad data is a common occurrence, and any benefits of moving to the cloud can be negated if these errors are carried across.
Assessing Data Quality Before Migration
A successful cloud migration strategy starts by assessing data quality. Profiling, deduplication and validation reveal which records are reliable and which need cleaning, ensuring only trustworthy data is moved to the cloud.
Removing Bad Data During Cloud Migration
Cleaning data is a core part of any cloud migration. By correcting errors, removing duplicates and standardising formats before and during the move, businesses ensure the cloud environment is built on accurate, high-value information. Treating cloud migration as a chance to improve data quality turns a technical project into a real business advantage.
