Objective

Most system implementations that go wrong do so because of data. This package migrates data safely to a new platform: profile it early, cleanse it at source, map and transform it with tests, rehearse the load and reconcile every record before go-live.

You may need this if

  • A new ERP, CRM or core system implementation is planned
  • Known duplicates, gaps and inconsistencies in current data
  • A previous migration caused post-launch problems
How it runs
