The process[2] of moving data[3] from one system to another. Typically this is performed when implementing a new system and the data needs to be moved and translated from the old system values and format to the new system values and format. A program is written to take the data from the old system format and “convert it” it to the new system format in an automated fashion which saves time and improves efficiency of the data migration[1] tasks.
The mechanism through which the data are transformed, manipulated and created into output such as a report, a decision etc. A series of activities that need to be carried out to accomplish some sort of organizational goal. A sequence of events or activities that are triggered by something happening and results in something being achieved.
