Data migration factory

Large migrations rehearsed until the totals match on the final run.

We move large volumes of data from legacy systems with a repeatable process: profiling, cleansing rules, mapping, load cycles and a reconciliation the business signs off. Historical data, parallel runs and delta loads are planned so the cutover window stays short.

Arabic and English names, addresses and identifiers, such as Emirates ID, Saudi national ID and Iqama numbers, get their own cleansing and matching rules, because duplicates often hide behind different spellings.

What the engagement covers

  • Profiling and cleansing

    Data quality checked at source, with cleansing rules agreed with data owners.

  • Load cycles

    Repeated trial loads that get shorter each time, until the final run fits the cutover window.

  • Reconciliation sign-off

    Counts, totals and samples compared between the old and new systems, and signed off by the business.

  • Business ownership

    Process owners from finance, HR or sales sign off designs and test results, not IT alone.

  • Rehearsed fallback

    Each trial load and the final cutover have an agreed point to roll back to if the reconciliation fails.

When migration needs a factory approach

It is needed when volumes are large, sources are many and the cutover window is short.

  • Several legacy systems feed the new platform.
  • Data quality is unknown, or known to be poor.
  • The business cannot stop for more than a weekend.
