Data migration services

What our data migration service covers

We take responsibility for the data, the mapping and the cutover. Each engagement starts with the business records that must survive the move, then works backwards into the technical plan.

  • Data discovery and migration planning

    Inventory · dependencies · cutover plan

    We identify source systems, owners, volumes, retention rules and downstream dependencies. You receive a migration plan with scope, risks, acceptance criteria and a rollback route before data is moved.

    • Source and dependency inventory
    • Agreed acceptance criteria
  • Data cleansing and field mapping

    Deduplication · transformation · mapping

    We map fields and relationships to the target model, remove duplicates and fix formats that would otherwise create bad records in the new system. Every transformation is documented for review.

    • Reviewed mapping specification
    • Documented transformation rules
  • Legacy and database migration

    On premises · SQL · custom systems

    We extract data from older databases and business applications, including systems with limited APIs. Staging and batch controls keep the source stable while records and relationships move.

    • Legacy extraction strategy
    • Relationship preservation
  • Cloud data migration

    Cloud to cloud · on premises to cloud

    We move operational data into the cloud or between cloud services, with encryption, access controls and a cutover plan suited to your working hours and data residency requirements.

    • Controlled cloud cutover
    • Security and access review
  • CRM and ERP data migration

    Customers · transactions · activity history

    We preserve record ownership, custom fields, relationships and history when moving CRM or ERP data. Automations and connected systems are checked so the new platform works after import.

    • Business history retained
    • Connected workflows checked
  • Testing, reconciliation and support

    Trial loads · validation · handover

    We run trial migrations, compare source and target counts, test sampled records and resolve exceptions before cutover. You receive a reconciliation report, documentation and post-launch support.

    • Source to target reconciliation
    • Documented handover

Our process

How does a data migration project work?

The controls are agreed before the first trial load, so the final cutover is a rehearsed change rather than a live experiment.

  1. 01

    Discover and scope

    We inventory sources, volumes, owners, dependencies and the records that must be retained.

  2. 02

    Map and prepare

    We define the target model, cleansing rules, field mappings, security controls and rollback plan.

  3. 03

    Run a trial migration

    We load a representative dataset, test relationships and compare results with agreed acceptance criteria.

  4. 04

    Reconcile and fix exceptions

    We compare counts, totals and sampled records, then resolve failed or ambiguous data before cutover.

  5. 05

    Cut over with control

    We freeze only what is necessary, run the final migration and keep the source available until approval.

  6. 06

    Validate and hand over

    Your owners sign off the new system against the reconciliation report, then we document and support it.

Common projects

Where data migration services create the most value

The method stays consistent, but the records and acceptance checks change with the business system.

  • Legacy data migration

    Move years of operational records from an ageing database or custom application into a supported system without dropping relationships or history.

    • Legacy systems
    • Custom extraction
    • Archive rules
  • CRM data migration

    Transfer companies, contacts, deals, owners, activities and custom properties, then reconnect the sales and service workflows that rely on them.

    • CRM records
    • Activity history
    • Workflow checks
    Learn more
  • ERP data migration

    Move suppliers, customers, products, balances and transaction history while preserving the controls finance and operations need.

    • ERP master data
    • Transaction history
    • Control totals
    Learn more
  • Cloud data migration

    Move data from on premises infrastructure or between cloud services with staged transfer, access controls and a planned cutover window.

    • Cloud transfer
    • Encryption
    • Data residency

Systems

Data sources and targets we work with

We choose the migration method around your data model, access constraints and target system, including custom APIs and scheduled exports.

Business platforms

Databases and storage

  • PostgreSQL
  • MySQL
  • Microsoft SQL Server
  • Cloud storage and warehouses

Migration and orchestration

If your system is not listed, we will assess its API, database access or export options during discovery.

How do you reduce data migration risk?

A migration is safe when success can be measured. These controls make the target data provably usable before the source is retired.

Uncontrolled migration

  • Fields mapped during the import
  • One full load with no rehearsal
  • Record counts used as the only check
  • Source switched off before business approval
  • Exceptions fixed manually with no audit trail
  • Integrations checked after launch

Controlled migration with Makeitfuture

  • Mapping and acceptance criteria agreed first
  • Trial loads with representative data
  • Counts, totals, relationships and samples reconciled
  • Source retained until owner sign-off
  • Exceptions logged, resolved and retested
  • Connected workflows tested before cutover

Data migration or platform migration?

Use this service when the main risk is the data itself: quality, mapping, relationships, security and reconciliation. If you already know the source and target applications and need a named route, our platform migration directory covers specific CRM and automation moves. When the requirement is continuous synchronisation after cutover, see our software integration services.

Data migration case study

See how we moved 15,000 CRM records from an on premises vTiger system to HubSpot in 24 minutes, with zero data loss reported in the project validation.

    Data Migration from vTiger CRM to HubSpot CRM Using Make

    A major European construction group needed to migrate a massive CRM dataset from a locally hosted vTiger system to HubSpot.

    The solution had to:

    • Handle 15,000+ records across contacts, companies, deals, tasks, notes, and offers.
    • Ensure 100% accurate field mapping between the two CRMs.
    • Overcome the complexity of vTiger being hosted on a local server.
    • Deliver the migration fast to avoid downtime and disruption to daily operations.

FAQs about data migration services

  • What are data migration services?

    Data migration services plan, prepare, transfer and validate data as it moves from one system or storage environment to another. The work covers discovery, cleansing, field mapping, transformation, trial loads, cutover and reconciliation. A managed service also coordinates owners, security and connected workflows so the new system is usable after the transfer.

  • How much does a data migration project cost?

    Cost depends on record volume, source access, data quality, relationship complexity, retention rules and the number of connected systems. We start with discovery and provide a scoped proposal tied to the migration plan and acceptance criteria.

  • How long does data migration take?

    A focused CRM or database move can take a few weeks. A multi-system programme with years of history, poor source data or strict cutover windows takes longer. The discovery phase gives you a timeline based on your sources, target and validation needs.

  • How do you prevent data loss during migration?

    We keep the source available, run trial loads, reconcile counts and control totals, sample business records, log exceptions and require owner approval before retirement. The final report records what moved, what changed and any agreed exclusions.

  • Can you migrate data from a legacy system with no modern API?

    Often, yes. We assess database access, scheduled exports, reports and secure file transfer options. When direct extraction is limited, we stage the data and document the controls needed to preserve relationships and history.

  • Can the business keep operating during the migration?

    Usually. We use trial loads and delta transfers so most preparation happens while the current system remains live. The final cutover window and any temporary freeze are agreed around the way your team works.

  • What happens after the migration?

    We validate the target with your record owners, reconnect and test relevant workflows, hand over the mapping and reconciliation documents, and provide post-launch support for exceptions found during normal use.
