To guide and facilitate the replacement of one product with another

To determine whether potential replacement products can be customised to contain data structures to support the business processes that the organisation requires of it.

 

Produce logical and/or physical data model of the existing product.

Logical – entities, attributes and entity to entity relationships

Physical – tables, columns, primary and foreign keys

Include sample data if possible, this will help data mapping between products

Obtain models of potential replacement products

 

Data mapping – produce a business process led comparison between products.

For example:

‘Customer case’ in current product is satisfied from ‘contact’, ‘incident’, ‘root cause’, ‘owner’, ‘business unit’ and ‘activity’ tables.

In a potential replacement product this might be ‘customer’, ‘case’, ‘reason’, ’event’.

The DA would determine whether what data needs to create and store in relation to ‘customer cases’ is satisfied by the entities in the replacement product. What the mapping is, and should the model not satisfy the requirement can it be amended.

Provide best practice guidance on data modelling. Design of entities and attributes, primary and foreign key choices, relationship types between entities, naming standards.
