Data migration and synchronisation

We prepare, map, clean, validate and move records between systems, then reconcile totals and establish reliable synchronisation where required.

We prepare, map, clean, validate and move records between systems, then reconcile totals and establish reliable synchronisation where required. The engagement begins by clarifying existing processes, relevant users, technical dependencies and the decisions that need to be made. The precise scope and acceptance criteria are agreed before delivery.

How Data Migration & Synchronization Works

Every engagement starts with a clear understanding of the existing environment, the people involved and the outcomes that matter. The delivery activities below show how this service moves from discovery into an actionable plan.

01
Discover

Data profiling

02
Assess

Test migrations

03
Plan

Record-level validation

04
Design

Post-migration verification

Ideal for organisations that:

  • Organisations changing systems or consolidating databases

The Challenges We Solve

  • When data profiling is not properly planned, teams may face delays, inconsistent results or difficult handovers.
  • When test migrations is not properly planned, teams may face delays, inconsistent results or difficult handovers.
  • When record-level validation is not properly planned, teams may face delays, inconsistent results or difficult handovers.

The Business Value

  • Source-to-target data mapping: the intended output, review responsibilities and acceptance criteria are documented in the agreed scope.
  • Data cleansing and migration scripts: the intended output, review responsibilities and acceptance criteria are documented in the agreed scope.
  • Reconciliation and exception reports: the intended output, review responsibilities and acceptance criteria are documented in the agreed scope.
  • Cutover and rollback plan: the intended output, review responsibilities and acceptance criteria are documented in the agreed scope.

What to Expect

Before commissioning data migration & synchronization, clarify what is included, what remains the client's responsibility, dependencies on existing software or suppliers, security and data access, the acceptance process, and any post-delivery support. Timeframes and costs should be confirmed only after discovery.

Typical deliverables

  • Source-to-target data mapping
  • Data cleansing and migration scripts
  • Reconciliation and exception reports
  • Cutover and rollback plan

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How do you check that migrated data is correct?

We reconcile counts and key totals, inspect exceptions and validate representative records against agreed rules.

2. Can migration happen with limited downtime?

The cutover approach depends on data volume, interfaces and system constraints; rehearsals help establish realistic windows.

3. What does data migration & synchronization actually include?

We prepare, map, clean, validate and move records between systems, then reconcile totals and establish reliable synchronisation where required. The detailed statement of work identifies inclusions, exclusions and the outputs to be reviewed.

4. What business problem does data migration & synchronization address?

Moving data is only successful when the destination records are accurate and usable. Discovery determines which symptoms and underlying causes are within scope.

5. Who should consider data migration & synchronization?

Organisations changing systems or consolidating databases. The right engagement depends on business objectives and the condition of existing systems.

6. What will we receive after data profiling?

The expected outputs can include source-to-target data mapping. Their format, ownership and acceptance criteria should be agreed before work starts.

7. How do you approach test migrations?

We first establish the existing environment and dependencies, then plan test migrations with agreed checks and stakeholder review.

8. How will data cleansing and migration scripts be reviewed?

The parties should agree how to inspect and accept data cleansing and migration scripts, including any test evidence or documentation required.

9. How long does the engagement take?

Timing depends on scope, system access, decision-making, dependencies and the complexity of record-level validation. A realistic schedule follows discovery.

10. Can you work with our existing software and team?

Compatibility, access rights and team responsibilities are assessed first. Existing tools can be retained where they meet the requirements and support the proposed work.
