Move your data.
Nothing left behind._

Records, documents, complete folder structures and years of history: we move everything under full control from your old system to the new one. With a test migration up front and a verification report afterwards, so you see in black and white that everything arrived complete. You just keep working, we handle the move.

You've wanted to switch.
Your data won't let you.

Almost nobody wakes up excited about a data migration. It usually starts with frustration: a package that's cramped, costs that keep rising, a structure nobody understands anymore. And then comes the question that stops everything: how do we ever get all that data moved over safely?

A data migration is the controlled move of data, documents and structures from one system to another, including the proof that everything arrived complete and correct. Done well, the organization barely notices, except that everything works better afterwards.

Your data is trapped

Years of customers, orders and documents sit in the old package. Exporting feels like an impossible task, so you stay put.

Afraid of losing something

What if records go missing, or documents get separated from their customer? That fear has been holding back the switch for years.

Manual isn't an option

Retyping or copying things over manually takes weeks and introduces exactly the errors you wanted to avoid.

Your old vendor isn't helping

You're with a vendor that has little interest in you leaving. The export is limited, and so is their cooperation.

what_moves_with_you

Everything moves with you.
And everything stays connected.

From CRM to CRM, from ERP to your own data layer, from file server to cloud, from Excel to database: whatever the combination, we take the complete picture with us. Not just the individual records, but the connections between them too.

✓

Records and relationships

Customers, contacts, orders, quotes and invoices, including all the connections between them. An order stays linked to the right customer.

✓

Documents and files

Contracts, quotes, photos and attachments move along too, and stay linked to the record they belong to.

✓

Folder structures and permissions

Complete file servers, SharePoint or Drive environments, including structure and access rights. Or restructured from scratch, if the old structure was the problem.

✓

History and context

Notes, activities, email history and logs. It's exactly those years of accumulated knowledge that make your data valuable, so they come along.

✓

The connections around it

Accounting, website, mailing: the systems that were connected to your old package get neatly reconnected to the new one.

✓

Cleanup along the way

Duplicate customers, outdated fields and clutter don't just move along unchanged. The migration is the moment to clean up, and we do that right away.

the_approach

From old to new,
step by step under control

A migration isn't a leap into the unknown, it's a planned project. You provide access and decisions, we do the rest. Most of the work happens automated and alongside your daily operations: not weeks but days, not days but hours.

01
no obligation

Migration scan

We map out what's where: systems, tables, documents, folders and integrations. What needs to move, what can stay behind, where the risks are. You get a concrete migration plan with a fixed price, even if you then want to continue with another party.

02
the blueprint

Mapping and cleanup

Field by field, we record where everything goes. Duplicate records, clutter and illogical structures get cleaned up along the way. That way the new system starts clean, instead of inheriting the mess from the old one.

03
the dress rehearsal

Test migration

We run the complete migration first on a copy of your data. Counts per table, folder and file type show in black and white that everything arrives complete. If something's off, we fix it here, not during the real switch.

04
the switchover moment

The real migration

The final move happens in a short, planned window, usually outside office hours. Anything added since the test migration is automatically carried over. The next working day, your team starts in the new system.

05
the proof

Verification and aftercare

We compare before-and-after counts side by side, walk through spot checks together, and go through the exception report point by point. The old system stays available until you give the go-ahead. Only then is the migration complete.

Prefer to plan the groundwork yourself first? Our data migration plan walks through seven steps: how to plan a migration, which export specification to request from your vendor, and how to prove nothing was lost.

since_youre_moving_anyway

If you're moving anyway, why not do it right the first time? A migration is the chance to finally organize your data the way you always wanted.

A migration question rarely starts with the technology. It starts with frustration: a system that's cramped, costs that keep rising, a structure nobody understands anymore. Moving without restructuring means you carry those problems into your new system. That's why with every migration we also look at the destination: is the structure right, can the clutter be removed, and will your data end up somewhere that's truly yours? If you house your data in an open, in-house data layer, this migration becomes the last forced migration you'll ever have to do.

frequently_asked_questions

What else would you like to know?

Which systems can you migrate data between?

In principle between any system that has an export, API or database: CRMs like Salesforce, HubSpot and Dynamics, ERP and accounting packages like SAP, file servers, SharePoint, Google Drive, Access and Excel files, custom applications and legacy packages. The no-obligation migration scan clarifies your specific combination upfront.

How do you prevent data loss during a migration?

By counting and proving, instead of hoping. Before the migration, everything is counted per table, folder and file type. After the test migration and after the real migration, we do those same counts again and compare them side by side. Anything that can't move over one to one goes into an exception report with a proposal. And the old system stays available until you give the go-ahead.

How long does a data migration take?

That depends on the scope and the number of systems, but think days to a few weeks, not months. The actual switchover moment itself is short and planned, usually outside office hours, so work can simply continue. The migration scan gives you a concrete schedule upfront.

What does a data migration cost?

The migration scan is free and maps out the scope exactly. Based on that, you get a fixed price for the whole project, so no hourly billing and no open-ended costs. Because the migration work is largely automated, the costs are considerably lower than with a traditional manual approach.

Can we keep working during the migration?

Yes. The preparation, mapping and test migration happen entirely alongside your daily operations, nothing changes in the old system. Only the final switchover moment needs a short window, and we schedule that together at a time that doesn't disrupt anyone.

Do we need to clean up our data before we can migrate?

No, cleaning up is actually part of the migration. Duplicate customers, outdated fields and folder clutter that's grown over time are often exactly why the old system feels cramped. The move is the ideal moment to clean that up, so the new system starts clean and logical.

The migration scan is the no-obligation first step. We take a look at your current environment and you get a clear report, with no strings attached.

  • An overview of all your systems, data, documents and integrations
  • What needs to move, what can be cleaned up, and where the risks are
  • A concrete migration plan with a schedule
  • A fixed price for the whole project, no open-ended costs
  • Also useful if you want to continue with another party afterwards
