Business Central

Data migration

Bring your data across from any ERP into Business Central, validated and reconciled, so the numbers on day one match the numbers on the last day of the old system.

Migration is a data quality project

Every migration surfaces problems that were invisible in the old system: duplicate customers, items with no unit of measure, vendors nobody has traded with since 2014, balances that do not reconcile. Moving that mess into a new system means paying to maintain it for another decade. So we treat migration as a cleansing exercise. We profile your data first and give you a report of what we found: duplicates, gaps, inconsistencies, orphaned records. You decide what to clean, what to merge and what to leave behind. That decision is yours, but you get to make it with the facts in front of you.

How we move it

We extract from your source system, transform into Business Central's structures, and load through supported configuration packages and APIs rather than writing directly to tables. That matters: direct table writes skip the validation that keeps an ERP internally consistent, and the damage usually surfaces months later. Every run is repeatable. We migrate into a test environment as many times as it takes, reconciling trial balance, aged receivables, aged payables and stock valuation against the old system each time. When those reports agree, the migration is correct. When they do not, we find out why before go-live, not after.

How much history should you bring?

Less than you think. Open transactions and current master data are essential. Full transactional history usually is not, because it costs real money to migrate and validate, and most companies consult it a handful of times a year. A common approach is to migrate open items plus opening balances, keep summary history by period, and retain the old system in read-only form for the rare deep lookup. We will give you the cost of each option and let you choose, rather than quietly migrating everything and billing for it.

What you get

Data profiling report

Duplicates, gaps and inconsistencies in your current data, documented before anything moves.

Loaded through supported APIs

Configuration packages and APIs rather than direct table writes, so Business Central's own validation stays intact.

Repeatable, rehearsed runs

We migrate to test as many times as needed, so the production run is one we have already done successfully.

Reconciled against the old system

Trial balance, aged receivables and payables, and stock valuation are matched report to report before sign-off.

An honest call on history

We price the options for how much history to bring and let you choose, instead of migrating everything by default.

Any source system

SAP, Sage, Pantheon, Navision, custom in-house systems, or a pile of spreadsheets. If it exports, we can migrate it.

Frequently asked questions

Which systems can you migrate from?

Any system that can export its data, including SAP, Sage, Pantheon, older Navision installations, bespoke in-house applications and spreadsheets. The source matters less than the quality of what comes out of it.

Do we have to stop working during the migration?

Only for the final run. Master data and history can be migrated in advance; open transactions and balances are taken at the cut-off point, which is usually a weekend or a quiet period at month end.

How do we know the migration is correct?

By reconciliation, not by assurance. We match trial balance, aged receivables, aged payables and stock valuation between the old and new systems and show you the comparison. If the reports agree, the data agrees.
