Don’t Move the Mess: Get Your Data Right Before Migrating to Oracle Fusion Cloud
Webinar Recording
Migrating to Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP is a real opportunity, but only if your data is ready for it. Too many organizations focus entirely on configuration and testing, only to discover after go-live that legacy data wasn’t fit for purpose. A successful Oracle Fusion Cloud data migration starts long before the system goes live, with a clear plan for what data moves, what gets left behind, and how it all gets cleaned up along the way.
In this recording, Rob Leech, Fusion Finance Lead at Imperial College London, shares hard-won lessons from one of the UK’s most complex Oracle migrations. Imperial’s data went back to 1999, spanning 250,000 supplier records, 100,000 open purchase orders, and £19 million in unapplied receipts. Getting that volume of legacy data ready for Oracle Fusion Cloud meant confronting decades of accumulated inconsistencies, duplicates, and outdated records head-on.
In this recording, you’ll learn:
- Why cleaning data before migration saves time, money, and post-go-live headaches
- The four pillars of a solid Oracle Fusion Cloud data migration plan: cleansing, mapping, enrichment, transformation
- Real results from Imperial: 70,000 purchase orders closed, 30,000 customer records deactivated, 7,000 supplier addresses added
- How the right bulk tooling gave the team speed and control over hundreds of thousands of records
- A simple test for what’s worth migrating: is it current, relevant, necessary, and good quality?
Whether you’re just starting to scope your Oracle Fusion Cloud data migration or you’re already deep in implementation, this session offers a practical, field-tested look at what it takes to get data ready before go-live, and how to avoid the costly rework that comes from skipping that step.
