Trustworthy data is the foundation of a successful migration. One of the most critical (and often overlooked) steps in data migration is data cleansing—removing errors, inconsistencies, or duplicates to ensure the new system is error-free.
How we approach data cleansing:
Using advanced algorithms and customised processes, we eliminate unnecessary redundancy for cleaner data sets.
We cross-verify data from multiple sources to resolve inconsistencies and ensure data accuracy throughout the system.
Whether it’s formatting issues, incomplete entries, or outdated records, we ensure your data is updated and ready for the migration process.
A thorough cleaning step significantly reduces errors during migration, saving time and post-migration rework.
Running a test migration prior to the main event ensures you can proactively address risks or glitches that might otherwise derail your progress. At Elwyn Consulting, we perform meticulous test migrations with a small subset of your data to validate processes.
The benefits of test migrations:
Ensure your data is correctly transforming from the source to the target environment.
Identify technical challenges or performance issues early.
By simulating the migration process, we significantly lower the risks associated with your migration.
This step provides peace of mind and prevents costly errors, ensuring a smooth transition to your new system.
Once the primary migration is complete, we verify success by conducting a series of rigorous tests within the target environment. This ensures everything is functional, performs well, and aligns with business requirements.
Validate that all migrated data is accessible and works within the workflows in the new environment.
Ensure the system functions efficiently, even with a full data load.
Collaborate with end-users to validate the system's usability and accuracy from their perspective.
