Data Migration & ETL
Migrating data between systems is one of the highest-risk operations in enterprise technology. A failed migration means lost records, broken integrations, and costly manual recovery. We handle the full migration lifecycle: source auditing, field-by-field mapping, transformation rule design, incremental migration runs, reconciliation validation, and cutover planning. Whether you are moving from Salesforce to Oracle, migrating a legacy on-prem SQL Server database to PostgreSQL in the cloud, consolidating multiple CRMs after an acquisition, or building an ongoing ETL pipeline that keeps two live systems in sync — we treat data integrity as the non-negotiable deliverable, not an afterthought.

What you get
Deliverables
Everything included in a standard engagement. Scope is agreed upfront — no surprises.
- Source system data audit report (record volumes, schema documentation, data quality assessment)
- Field-by-field mapping document: source field → destination field, type coercions, transformation rules
- Data cleansing specification (nulls, duplicates, encoding issues, referential integrity gaps)
- ETL pipeline or migration scripts — developed and tested in staging
- Incremental migration runs with row-count and checksum reconciliation at each stage
- Pre-cutover and post-cutover validation reports
- Rollback plan and source data snapshot archive
- Migration runbook with step-by-step cutover instructions
- Post-go-live monitoring setup for data drift and error alerting
How it works
Our process
Structured delivery means you know what happens at every stage — before we start.
- 01
Source Audit & Scoping
We connect to the source system and produce a full data audit: total record counts by entity, schema documentation, referential integrity map, data quality issues (nulls, duplicates, encoding problems), and a complexity estimate that drives the migration plan.
- 02
Field Mapping & Transformation Design
We produce a field-by-field mapping document. For every source field: the destination field, data type coercion required, transformation logic, and the handling rule for null, invalid, or out-of-range values.
- 03
Pipeline Development & Staging Run
We build the ETL pipeline or migration scripts, run a full migration to a staging environment, and validate row counts, checksums, and a sample of records against the source — nothing moves to production until staging passes.
- 04
Reconciliation & Cutover Planning
We produce reconciliation reports comparing source and destination counts by entity, document the cutover plan (maintenance window, incremental delta sync, switchover order), and confirm rollback procedures with you.
- 05
Production Cutover & Sign-Off
We execute the production cutover per the agreed plan, run post-migration validation checks, and deliver a go-live sign-off report with row totals, error logs, and written confirmation of data integrity.
