Data migration services
Data migrations
that follow your process.
We run traditional data migrations for our software vendor partners and their customers. We follow the migration process your team already uses and prepare the legacy data to your application’s requirements. Anything you don’t migrate can stay searchable in LiftShift Records.
What we do
We do the migration work
alongside your team.
We scope each migration with your team and the customer. It usually covers these four parts.
Source assessment
We inventory and profile the legacy data and raise questions with the people who know the source.
Mapping and conversion
We build the field mappings and code crosswalks and prepare the data to your application’s import requirements.
Review and reconciliation
We run conversion rounds, check record counts and samples with your team and track each exception to a decision.
Cutover and handover
We carry out the agreed production load and final changes, then provide the support we agreed on.
How a migration runs
Four steps, from scope to cutover.
We fit them to the checkpoints your team already uses.
Scope
We agree on what moves, what the new application requires and which process to follow.
Assess
We profile the source and work through its open questions with the people who know it.
Convert and review
We run conversion rounds, check counts and samples with your team and resolve exceptions.
Cut over
We follow the agreed cutover plan and then hand over.
Migration and LiftShift Records
Migrate what your software needs.
Keep the rest in LiftShift Records.
Not all of the data has to move. Whatever your application won’t use can stay searchable and readable in LiftShift Records, which keeps all the columns of the exported data, including fields your application has no place for.
Before you start
Common questions
Can you migrate data without LiftShift Records?
Yes. A migration can be scoped on its own or alongside data archival in LiftShift Records.
Whose process do you follow?
Yours. We follow the migration process your team already uses, and your team supplies the destination requirements.
What will you need from us?
The receiving application’s requirements, authorized access to the source and reviewers who know the data.
