35. Lessons Learned
■ Don’t assume you
have the in-house
resources to do
everything
■ Be more proactive in
designing a plan to
manage legacy data
and test the plan
thoroughly well in
advance of the actual
need for the legacy
data
■ Plan for delays and
problems
■ Know when to say
when. Sometimes
there is not a
technological
solution and things
(data) just need to be
done by hand.
■ Make sure you
partner up with the
right outside
resource(s) – this
made all the
difference for CRAA
