Data Migration Services
If you need a quick, efficient, and secure data migration service with no disruption to your business, our experts can help.
Data stands out as a crucial operational asset for your organization. Due to its significance, companies may feel apprehensive about data migration projects, particularly due to the growing complexity of data integration. This complexity is attributed to factors such as the variety of file formats, the volume of data, and the necessity to share existing data.
When is Data Migration Necessary?
There are lots of reasons why the need for data migration can arise, whether:
- You’re upgrading your legacy system and need to migrate data from the old system to the new one.
- Synchronizing your data between the legacy system and the new system is essential for a seamless side-by-side rollout.
- You've recently adopted a new business application and need to integrate data from your older system.
- You've acquired a new subsidiary or are undergoing a merger, requiring data transfer from multiple systems to a unified platform.
- You're moving your IT platforms to the cloud for better scalability, requiring the migration of both data and applications.
- You're migrating data from your current server to a new or existing storage system or centralizing data for better management.

Data Migration Process
Broadly speaking, the data migration phases we follow are:
Broadly speaking, the data migration phases we follow are:
- design –Identify existing data sources, determine the new system's requirements, and define the process for seamless data conversion.
- extract – Extract data from the existing sources efficiently.
- cleanse – Analyze the data, detect inconsistencies, remove duplicates, address gaps, and correct inaccuracies.
- load – Load the refined data into the new system via a single process, phased deployment, or parallel execution.
- verify – Test and confirm successful data upload.

Before initiating the process, our experienced Technical Architects will collaborate with you to understand your business goals and IT strategy. They will evaluate your current system’s functionality, data structure, quality, and storage locations.
We will ensure the process integrates availability, security, and reliability by:
- Understanding what your data’s used for. We will ensure the integration of availability, security, and reliability into the process by assessing the information environment. This involves understanding how and where you utilize your data and identifying the users. Additionally, we will determine if there might be a different purpose for the data in the future.
- Ensuring data quality (especially in legacy systems).It is impractical to transfer data that is not utilized or is duplicated or incorrect. We will conduct a comprehensive quality assessment to ensure standardization that benefits your users both presently and in the future.
- Constantly validating. Correcting errors post-migration is a costly affair. For seamless data migration, we will develop a visual prototype of the new system to ensure precise data utilization as intended. Modifications can be made throughout the process.
- Testing with end-users. We recommend that you share the prototype with your end-users so that, in addition to validation throughout the process, they and other stakeholders can conduct User Acceptance Testing (UAT) for the final migration to ensure it meets the requirements.
