Each phase starts only when the previous one is proven.

  • Data inventory
  • Data cleanup
  • Options & risk

Example · Migration readiness

Know before you switch.

Before you commit to a new system, we assess the current one: what data it holds, where quality issues exist, and what a transition would realistically require.

Inventories the data in your current system. Identifies data quality issues early. Sets out your options, with effort and risk.
  • Active data only
  • Read-only archive
  • Searchable history

Example · History archive

Preserve history without migrating it.

Only active records move to the new system. Decades of order history remain in a secure, read-only archive that your team can still search.

Migrates active records only. Archives historical data, read-only. Keeps historical orders searchable.
  • Parallel run
  • Difference checks
  • Phased switch

Example · Parallel run

Run in parallel. Switch when proven.

The new process runs in parallel with the existing one. We compare every result, resolve discrepancies, and move each function only once the results match.

New and existing processes run in parallel. Every discrepancy is reviewed. One function moves; the rest remains unchanged.
