Data is an increasingly integral component affecting your organisation’s bottom line: modern competitive organisations rely on data to automate processes and to drive efficiency. 

Whether it’s the automated augmentation of customer profiles, or managing complex vendor relationships in your global manufacturing supply chain, your data offers its own intrinsic value as well as extrinsic risk to profitability should your data be managed incorrectly. 

Migrating your data from legacy systems or integrating new systems into your existing data landscape can therefore have an immediate effect on your business. It is still surprising how many organisations underestimate the impact of these activities until it all goes wrong.

We at Kagool have developed proven and robust systems for migrating and integrating datasets across a vast array of IT platforms and landscapes. Our transparent and visible approach ensures that your business can monitor and track migration and integration activities, so that your transitions are assured and safe. 

Kagool are also proven at rescuing and returning ownership of distressed data work streams from existing Systems Integration Partners, putting your business firmly back in control of your migration activities.

Kagool is recognised in the industry for high levels of diligence, governance, accuracy and customer satisfaction in Data Migration and Integration solutions.

Our proven approach ensures that:

• The end to end process is clear, transparent and visible to all
• All data validations are reported and actionable processes are integral to the process
• All loaded data should be reconciled against what was sent
• A separate end-point reconciliation process should run in parallel to ensure that the source and target systems remain in continuous alignment across the IT landscape

Kagool has developed a master data end-point reconciliation solution that ensures the integrity of master data across complex IT landscapes ensuring pro-active error reporting and remediation of master data interface failures, preventing costly reactive approaches when transactional data failures occur.

SAP information steward BOIS

SAP Information Steward is a class-leading data analysis tool which allows for monitoring and assessment of dataset quality, including the root-cause tracing of errors and the impact analysis of said errors. 

Kagool has a proven track record of delivering the highest quality training for SAP Information Steward across the globe.

We have provided a variety of courses, including introductory courses for Managers and Data Stewards, through to technical hands-on courses for new starters to the tool.

Kagool’s Data Governance specialists can support your organisational design requirements around the implementation of BOIS into your Data Management framework. Without this in place as a prerequisite, the addition of a new IT box on your landscape will not assist your organisational goals.

Our training consultants will perform a training needs analysis and create a tailored training delivery plan that meets your objectives aligned to your corporate Data Strategy. We’ll monitor the effectiveness of the training and continually adapt as part of the delivery rollout.

We have experience in delivering technical BOIS training along with assisting with your framework design and methodology as part of the course. If you do not have such a framework, we can deliver best practice methods.

We have proven experience delivering Best Practice BOIS training courses to global FTSE100 clients establishing and maturing their offshore Data Services capabilities/factories. 

Client feedback has always been positive and we continue to enjoy relationships supporting the long-term development of our clients’ offshore centres.

We're impartial

Kagool offers an independent and impartial appraisal service where we review incumbent Data Migration implementations against 22 industry standard best practice criterion.

The following areas of the Data Migration process are included in the 22 point assessment:

• Data Quality
• Database & Schema
• Extract (Staging)
• Migration Process
• Transform & Load
• Coding Standards
• Exception Handling

Kagool has been selected to appraise the Data Migration deliveries of the top four UK System Integrators on behalf of their clients as part of Supplier Evaluation and Request for Recommendations for Improvement. 

Appraisals are technology agnostic and can include, but are not exclusive to, the following technologies - BODS/SDS, Informatica, DataStage, SSIS and Oracle.

Data management

Data management covers the strategy, governance, compliance, measurement and execution capability.

With our wealth of experience, Kagool has helped to develop best-practice data management principles, at the executive and grassroots levels, across most industry verticals.

Our consultants have helped to lead change programmes implementing new policies into established and mature organisations with varying levels of existing data management protocols, training and mentoring candidates in those organisations to become confident Enterprise Data Practitioners.

Kagool has supported training delivery on Data Management practice across the UK, EU and Asia from executives and senior management, through to developers, analysts and business end-user teams.

We can provide a range of teaching schemas that vary from generic, in-principle training, through to industry-specific training to include geographic and or sector regulatory/compliance requirements.
