I help SMEs prepare, map, cleanse, validate and reconcile data before ERP, CRM, finance, reporting or workflow migrations go live.

Plan a readiness reviewFix data quality first

Migration risks handled early

! Unknown source fields and undocumented spreadsheet logic ! Duplicates, inactive records, and invalid values moving forward ! Cutover plans with no reconciliation or rollback route ! Target-system reports that do not match old finance numbers

Migration support that starts before the import file

Most migration problems are discovered too late because the work starts with a spreadsheet export. The useful work starts with decisions: what moves, what is archived, what is corrected, and how success will be proven.

Readiness assessment

Review source systems, data owners, critical entities, reporting dependencies, known defects, and migration constraints before the project commits to a cutover date.

Source-to-target mapping

Define how fields, statuses, codes, dates, reference tables, and business rules translate into the target ERP, CRM, finance, or reporting system.

Validation and reconciliation

Build checks for record counts, balances, status totals, missing values, duplicates, and business-critical reports before and after go-live.

Business data migration expertise, not just file import help

If you are looking for business-side migration support, the useful work is control: which records are trusted, which fields map to the new system, and what evidence proves the new data is right.

For finance leaders

Opening balances, customers, suppliers, nominal codes, VAT fields, dimensions and management reports need reconciliation before go-live.

For operations teams

Products, stock, locations, statuses, service records and operational history need ownership decisions before migration testing.

For project teams

Vendors need clean mapping, signed-off rules and exception handling. Without that, technical imports turn into late-stage business arguments.

What gets delivered

Clear migration artefacts your internal team, vendor, or implementation partner can actually use.

Migration backlog

Cutover controls

The migration flow

A practical path from messy source data to signed-off target data.

1

Scope

Entities, sources, constraints, dates, and owners.

2

Assess

Data quality, duplicates, inactive records, and reporting dependencies.

3

Map

Fields, transformations, business rules, and target validation.

4

Test

Trial loads, issue logs, reconciliation, and stakeholder sign-off.

5

Cut over

Controlled load, checks, handover, and post-go-live cleanup.

Methodology

Migration readiness is checked against a practical evidence set: source-system exports, target-system field requirements, finance or operational control totals, exception logs, sample records, user-owned definitions, and the reports that must still reconcile after go-live.
