Overview

Our client, South32, is a global mining and metals company managing a diverse portfolio of operations in Australia.

The objective of this project was to assist South32 with the data migration to their new Capital Portfolio System, which is responsible for managing their projects. The initiative involved transforming legacy data, managing discrepancies, ensuring system integrity, and optimising workflows within the new system. Our expertise facilitated a seamless migration process, ensuring data accuracy, completeness, and compliance with system rules. Beyond migration, we continued to support South32 by working with their team to enhance system functionalities, optimise workflows, automate reporting processes, and improve data management.

Business Challenge

South32 had previously encountered significant difficulties at the early stages of this data migration project due to inefficiencies and inconsistencies caused by previous consulting engagements. Progress had been slow, and data quality issues persisted, affecting project timelines and operational decision-making.

The complexity of the migration stemmed from transforming data from the old system into the new Capital Portfolio System while ensuring compliance with a variety of custom fields and workflow rules. Additionally, discrepancies between the old and new systems required extensive validation and reconciliation to guarantee accurate data migration. Without proper automation and expertise, the process was prone to errors and delays, hindering the effectiveness of the new system.

How Access Analytic Helped

• Data Analysis: We performed a deep analysis of the data to be migrated and assessed compatibility with new system’s fields and workflows, identifying and solving any gaps between the two systems.
• Data Migration Management: We automated data transformations and the reconciliation of discrepancies which allowed us to successfully complete each stage of the data migration, from testing to final data load.
• System Stress Testing: We tested different versions of workflow rules and assessed the system’s performance under different load conditions to enhance reliability and efficiency.
• Data Warehouse Setup: We are currently assisting with the establishment of a robust data warehouse to support business intelligence and reporting.
• Automated Reporting & Process Optimization: We developed automated reports and streamlined internal processes, making data uploads more efficient and reducing manual workload.

Through our dedicated efforts and expertise, we not only ensured a successful data migration but also strengthened our partnership with South32 by providing continuous value through system enhancements and process automation.
