Think about your metadata for a moment. Does each field in your source system always get used the same way across different teams? Would an AI identify and understand each unique use? If you were going to migrate to a more advanced platform, does one field in your source system always map to one field in your target? We'll bet the answer is no. These are issues we see hidden in metadata all the time, even from clients who "know" their data is in perfect order. Learn more about the challenges of mapping metadata in David Gwyn's post below, then put "analyze and update metadata" at the top of TODO list for 2026. #dataquality #datatransformation #metadata
Monday Musings – Metadata Mapping One topic that comes up in almost every project I touch is metadata mapping. It always sounds simple. It looks like something you can solve with a spreadsheet and a few quick meetings. And every time I see a plan that says the mapping work will take two to three weeks, I know the team will eventually learn why this part of the project is never that small. The real issue is that many teams still treat metadata like labels. They assume one field in the source equals one field in the target and that the values will line up. In reality, metadata reflects years of habits and quiet exceptions that never made it into an SOP. These choices shape how people find information and how systems behave, and no spreadsheet captures that on the first pass. What most companies discover is that their metadata tells a story they have never written down. They find fields used differently across teams. They find lists that drifted because no one owned them. When you move into a structured system, all of those decisions suddenly matter. Mapping also requires business insight, not just technical skill. You cannot hand this to a developer and expect the right outcome. Someone has to know what each value really represents, why it existed in the first place, and what it influences downstream. Without that context, the team ends up guessing, and guessing always turns into rework. Governance is another reason this work expands. You cannot design a future state model if no one owns the rules for it. You cannot retire old values if functions cannot agree on what they mean. You cannot build a modern structure if people insist on keeping every legacy exception. The teams that succeed treat mapping as discovery. They use it to uncover inconsistencies, clean out legacy debris, and define clearer metadata before the migration starts. They bring business users into the conversation early. They challenge old patterns, knowing that good mapping is the foundation for automation, quality, and system performance. In my world, this is where the real transformation happens. Mapping is not an afterthought. It is the moment when an organization finally decides what its information means. When you get that part right, everything that follows becomes easier. If you are planning a migration or a new system, a better question than how long will mapping take is what do we want our information to look like when we are done. That question changes the tone of the work and shifts the focus from filling in a spreadsheet to designing the language your organization will use for years to come. So the next time you hear someone say we will sort out the mapping later, treat that as a warning sign. Later usually means rushed decisions and a lot of cleanup once the system goes live. Earlier means better conversations, stronger governance, and a system that feels familiar on day one.

fme Life Sciences reposted this
Impressive work from the Generis and fme Life Sciences teams on this major migration project. Moving 65 million regulated documents from two legacy archive systems into a single cloud-native platform is no small task, especially with 13TB of content, strict GxP requirements, and the need to keep business operations uninterrupted throughout. The outcome is a modern, scalable archive built on the CARA platform, delivering automated retention, full auditability, flexible search, and enterprise-grade compliance on AWS. A great example of what’s possible when strong technology, rigorous validation, and deep life sciences expertise come together. Well worth a read for anyone navigating legacy systems or planning large-scale content migrations: https://lnkd.in/ecRXYE_Y
