This guide is for customers who have purchased data migration services from Bromcom.
Your Role
Bromcom provides a full testing service to ensure that the target data is successfully migrated from your source system, including a full test migration. You do not need to check every part of the system after the test migration.
However, you should familiarise yourself with the data in the test system and, if you do find any issues, please email your Project Manager directly, copying in onboarding@bromcom.com.
Scope of Migration
The Data Migration Scope Document outlines the data that is included in the data migration.
All Data Migration Scope Documents can be found here.
Ensure you have located and familiarised yourself with the relevant scope document so that you can refer back to it later on, if you have any queries.
