Data consolidation & migration
Struggling to manage data scattered across multiple applications?
Data mastery is a common vital step in many digital transformation initiatives. Yet many Businesses struggle with data migration due to issues with compatibility, security or regulatory concerns. This can often lead to unforeseen spending or project delays.
With over 25 years experience, we are a safe pair of hands to help guide you through the process and take control of your data.
One experience
We understand the challenges of Data Silos
Many businesses face challenges because of multiple data sources, communication channels and touchpoints. Without proper data project management, businesses can face many hurdles when undertaking a data consolidation or migration project.
In our 25+ years of experience, we have found this methodology to be the most effective way to deliver successful services aggregation projects:
There are several factors that ensure a successful data management project, beginning with careful planning, setting clear goals and objectives and maintaining effective communication throughout the project.
Our approach
Data Consolidation and Migration
To successfully deliver data consolidation and migration, we follow this tried and tested approach:
1
Analyse the current data architecture
We perform an analysis of existing systems, data sources and formats, allowing us to spot the data for inconsistencies, errors, and duplicates.
2
Develop a strategy
Our project team including Data specialists, Database Administrators and a Project Manager then develops a data mapping strategy to define how data will be transformed and transferred.
3
System design and development
We design the target architecture, the structure of the new system including data flows and integration points, addressing security requirements and developing any necessary data transformation scripts or tools.
4
Implement and test
We execute the data migration or consolidation process according to the plan, monitoring the process closely for errors or data integrity issues and testing to ensure the new system functions as planned.
5
Continued support and training
Our team will be on hand to assist with any post-migration or consolidation issues, ensure that the new system meets performance expectations, and provide upskilling as needed to ensure long-term success and full user adoption.

Methodology
Key activities for Data Consolidation and Migration projects:
Depending on the project, we may need to implement certain methods that can greatly increase the efficiency of your data consolidation and migration.
Data Migration
Data migration is the process of moving data from one location or platform to another, e.g. when going from locally stored data to cloud-based data, replacing legacy software, performing system upgrades and maintenance, or following service aggregation. We deliver a reliable solution to data migration using the ETL (extract, transform, load) technique to provide a seamless transition with minimal disruption.

Data Consolidation
Data consolidation means combining data from multiple sources into a single location or platform, providing a consistently reliable master dataset that offers actionable data analysis and the development of business strategies. We create a solution to combine all data from disparate sources and provide a single source of truth, avoiding errors and repetition.

FAQs
Q. What is the role of data in digital transformation?
A. Data enables businesses to make informed decisions about their digital transformation instead of being led by guesswork and assumptions. Data helps facilitate optimised processes, offers deeper insights, and helps create more personalised customer experiences.
Q. What is the difference between data consolidation and migration?
A. Data consolidation refers to combining multiple data sources into one unified target, whereas data migration refers to moving data from one place to another.
Q. What are the benefits of consolidating data?
A. Consolidating data helps to simplify data management, allows for more complete data analysis, helps businesses meet data protection laws and other regulations, and improves overall efficiency and productivity.
Q. What is the ETL process and how is it used in data migration?
A. The ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) process involves extracting data from source systems, transforming it into a suitable format for the target system, and loading it into the destination system. The ETL method ensures data is accurately transferred and integrated, minimising disruption and maintaining data integrity.
