Introduction

AvenDATA has been separating data from various systems within the scope of carve-outs for 15 years – mainly from SAP, Oracle, and Navision systems, but also from many others. The following is a summary of why experience is needed and what appropriate planning and preparation is like.

Why Do You Need Experience For A Carve-Out?

A data carve-out is the process of removing data from an existing enterprise context to transfer it either to a stand-alone company or to a separate business unit. This process typically requires experience for several reasons:

Complexity Of The Data

Data carve-outs can be very complex, as they can involve different types of data, such as customer information, financial data, contracts, employee data and more. Experience helps to understand, classify, and handle the different types of data appropriately.

Legal And Regulatory Requirements

Carve-outs must consider various legal and regulatory requirements, depending on the industry and region. Experienced professionals can help identify and comply with these requirements to avoid legal issues or penalties.

Technical Aspects

The technical implementation of a data carve-out requires experience in data migration, data integration, database management and IT infrastructure. It is important to apply the right tools and methods to ensure that data can be transferred correctly and used effectively in the new environment.

Project Management And Risk Management

A data carve-out is often a complex project with many parties and stakeholders involved. Experienced project managers can efficiently manage the process, identify potential risks, and take appropriate action to ensure smooth execution.

Overall, a data carve-out requires extensive knowledge and experience to ensure the process runs smoothly, data is transferred correctly, and legal and technical requirements are met.
