One of the most mission critical elements of any SAP EAM implementation is a successful data conversion. The amount of effort required for data conversion is often overlooked, as the attention of the project team is focused on business process reviews, development specifications and other Blueprint activities. Without sufficient planning and preparation, the data conversion can become an unnecessary risk to the success of the implementation. Keys to success for an SAP EAM data conversion project that will help the project avoid risk and to deliver accurate conversion results in the allotted timeframe are as follows:

· Data Conversion Strategy
Clearly define the scope of the data conversion and overall plan

· Tracking Conversion Progress
Monitor the progress of the data conversion

· Communication
Important channels of communication for the data conversion team

· Testing and Verification
Ensure sufficient testing and verification prior to production loads

· Cut-Over Plan
Carefully script all conversion activities during the Final Prep and Go-Live
