Key Takeaways from Episode
01
Data Migration is Business-Critical
Data migration must be treated as a strategic priority in any SAP transformation. It directly impacts business performance, reporting accuracy, user trust, and ROI.
02
Realistic, Integrated Planning Prevents Pitfalls
SAP data migration must be embedded into the overall programme plan, not treated as a side task. Aligning stakeholders early ensures smoother execution and fewer surprises.
03
Pulse Brings Automation, Visibility & Control
Pulse by Kagool provides complete oversight across extraction, transformation, loading, and reconciliation—automating error handling and offering real-time visibility to avoid go-live risks.
04
People Matter: Skills Beyond the Technical
While SAP and SQL knowledge are critical, successful delivery also requires strong communication, problem-solving, and cross-functional collaboration to manage complexity and change.
05
Processes Enable Agility & Change Management
Change is inevitable. Robust, well-documented processes allow teams to adapt quickly and safely, minimising disruption and maintaining governance throughout the programme.
06
Start Early to Stay in Control
The most successful SAP data migrations begin well before the core programme launches. Early data profiling, cleansing, and mapping reduce last-minute risks, improve quality, and set the stage for a confident, issue-free go-live.
Real-World Client Success Stories
These real client stories are featured in Episode 7 of Innovate Now, highlighting how Kagool helped organisations overcome SAP data migration challenges with the right people, process, and tooling.
Meggitt (Aerospace)
Kagool partnered with Meggitt from the early stages of their SAP consolidation project, supporting the harmonisation of data across multiple environments. By providing dedicated migration consultants, driving clear ownership, and embedding data migration within the wider programme plan, Kagool enabled a smooth and issue-free go-live through proactive planning and collaborative execution.
XP Power (Electronics)
Following a difficult initial migration phase, XP Power brought in Kagool to regain control of its SAP programme. Leveraging our Pulse, we provided full visibility, error tracking, and data reconciliation throughout the lifecycle. With focused support from our consultants and structured governance, the next phase delivered a 99.99% successful data load, restoring confidence and ensuring future readiness.
Calor Gas (Energy)
Midway through their SAP implementation, Calor Gas identified serious gaps in their data migration workstream. Kagool was brought in to conduct an assessment and quickly deployed experienced consultants to enforce structure, define missing documentation, and take ownership of key deliverables. Even without tooling, our methodology and disciplined process helped turn a stalled programme into a successful delivery.
