Mobility
Objective
Graebel’s primary business objective is to efficiently migrate away from their current Oracle Financials system within a year.

This strategic migration aims to enhance financial processes, optimize resource utilization, and align their financial management systems with the company’s growth trajectory.
Graebel’s Challenges
Migrating legacy data
Migrating extensive and legacy data poses a significant challenge for Graebel due to the complexity and scale of the operation. Legacy data often exists in various formats, structures, and systems, making the process of transferring it to a new platform intricate and time-consuming.
During the migration, Graebel encountered data quality concerns, including duplicated, outdated, or incomplete data. Ensuring the accuracy and integrity of the migrated data is crucial to maintain the integrity of financial records and operational processes.
Furthermore, the volume of data involved can lead to performance issues and delays. Transferring large datasets strained their network bandwidth and resulted in extended downtimes, affecting the company’s overall productivity.
Restrategizing processes
Migrating legacy data is a formidable challenge for Graebel, primarily due to the intricate interplay between historical data and evolving business processes. Legacy data often conforms to outdated business rules and workflows that were tailored to the previous system. When transitioning to a new platform, redefining these established rules to align with modern processes becomes a complex endeavor.
Data mapping and transformation are vital stages in this migration journey. Converting data from the old structure to the new format while ensuring accuracy demands meticulous planning. Each data field, relationship, and attribute must be accurately mapped to its counterpart in the new system. Inaccurate mapping can lead to data loss, corruption, or misinterpretation, hampering business operations.
Moreover, legacy systems often lack the compatibility to interact smoothly with contemporary technologies. This incompatibility adds complexity to data extraction, transformation, and loading processes, potentially resulting in data discrepancies and disruptions.
Lack of time
Graebel is confronted with a pressing challenge due to the constraint of time in tackling the complexities of legacy data migration. The urgency to complete this extensive process within a limited timeframe poses significant hurdles and potential setbacks.
The intricacies of legacy data, such as outdated business rules, data mapping intricacies, and structural disparities, demand comprehensive attention and meticulous planning. The time-sensitive nature of the migration process intensifies the pressure on Graebel to execute each step accurately and swiftly.
One issue Graebel faces is the risk of rushed decision-making. With time constraints, there’s a higher likelihood of overlooking critical details or opting for suboptimal solutions due to the urgency of the situation. This can result in incomplete data mapping, incorrect transformations, and compromised data integrity.

Further reinforcing its impact, Sesat orchestrated the implementation of cutting-edge SMS and email communication systems, enabling Graebel to engage customers effectively and foster real-time interactions. This enhancement not only boosted customer satisfaction but also contributed to Graebel’s reputation as a service-centric organization.
A standout success of this collaboration was the development of a self-reliant data management infrastructure. Sesat’s technical expertise empowered Graebel to maintain, update, and secure their data autonomously, reducing reliance on external support and fostering data accuracy and accessibility.
