I Offer Data Migration Services For UK Businesses
Moving your business data from one system to another can seem daunting and stressful. Whether you're switching CRM systems, changing your accounting software, or moving to the cloud, I help UK businesses migrate their data safely and efficiently.
Data migration sounds complicated, but it's basically the process of moving your important business information from where it currently lives to a new system and aligning business processes.
Why Businesses Need Data Migration Services
Most businesses face data migration at some point. You might be moving from an old CRM system to Salesforce, switching from QuickBooks to Xero, or transferring years of customer data to a new platform. The challenge isn't just moving the data - it's making sure nothing gets lost, corrupted, or ends up in the wrong place.
That's where professional data migration services come in. I handle the technical complexity so you can focus on running your business. My 7-step migration process ensures your data arrives safely in your new system, properly organised and ready to use.
Common Data Migration Challenges I Help Solve
Data doesn't fit the new system properly- Different software systems store information in different ways. Your old CRM might have one field for "company name" whilst your new system has separate fields for "company" and "trading name". I map out these differences and make sure your data fits perfectly.
Worried about losing important information - It's natural to worry about losing years of customer records, financial data, or business information. That's why I always create complete backups before starting any migration and test everything thoroughly before going live.
Downtime affecting your business - You can't afford to have your systems down for days whilst data is being moved. I plan migrations carefully to minimise disruption, often working outside business hours or using phased approaches to keep your operations running.
Data quality issues -Old systems often contain duplicate records, incomplete information, or outdated entries. Part of the migration process involves cleaning up your data, removing duplicates, and standardising formats so your new system starts with high-quality information.
How My Data Migration Process Works
Using my Flow 7 Data Migration System
Planning and Assessment First, I look at your current system and understand what data you have, where it needs to go, and any specific requirements. This includes identifying potential problems before they become issues.
Data Mapping and Preparation I create a detailed plan showing how information from your old system will fit into your new one. This includes transforming data formats, and creating a master data set by combining fields where necessary, and cleaning up any quality issues.
Testing and Validation Before touching your live data, I run test migrations and help you the business define and test processes using sample data. This lets me iron out any problems and make sure everything works perfectly before the real migration.
The Migration Using proven tools and techniques, I move your data systematically. I monitor the process carefully and can stop or roll back if anything unexpected happens.
Verification and Go-Live After migration, I check that all your data has arrived correctly and is working as expected in the new system. Only when everything is verified do we switch over completely.
