JD:

NextGen PLM+ Data Migration is the end‐to‐end process of moving Item, BOM, Change, and File Vault data from Agile PLM into the new cloud‐based PLM+ platform. It covers base migration for full data load and delta migration for incremental changes. The project ensures accurate data mapping, transformation, validation, and seamless loading into Oracle Cloud PLM+. It enables coexistence between legacy Agile and NextGen PLM+ until full cutover.
