• Data Migration Execution:
  • Design, develop, and test extractors and mapping tools to fit target migration templates.
  • Define and validate mapping rules, data cleansing procedures, and data quality checks.
  • Execute data extraction from source systems (iterative cycles) and validate migration results for unit and integration testing.
  • Support the business in validating data migration outputs.

3. Deploy & Tool Kit Phase (Change Management & Testing)

• Change Management & Training: Assist change management specialized training on SAP S/4 PCE (led by external partners) and support Key Users (KU) during end-user training sessions.
