Data Migration Services for Australian Businesses
Legacy systems, accounting platforms, databases, CRMs - we handle the entire data migration process. Fixed-price quotes, Australian team, and tested until the numbers match exactly.
What We Migrate
We handle four main categories of data migration:
Legacy Data Migration
Old systems, unsupported software, spreadsheets that became databases, custom tools from the 2000s. We extract your data before it becomes inaccessible and move it to a modern platform.
Accounting & Business Data Migration
MYOB to Xero, QuickBooks to Xero, Reckon to MYOB - we handle accounting platform switches including data cleansing, chart of accounts mapping, payroll transfer, and bank feed reconnection.View accounting migrations
Database Migration
Both technical database migrations (SQL Server to PostgreSQL, Oracle to AWS) and business data migrations (customer records, job history, operational data from one system to another).Database development services
Platform & Application Migration
CRM migrations, ERP migrations, cloud migrations, and custom application data transfers. Moving between platforms of any size - scaling up or right-sizing down.View software & app migrations
When Businesses Say "Database Migration"
Some business owners use "database migration" to describe moving customer records, job history, invoices, or CRM data from one system to another. Others mean technical database work (SQL Server to PostgreSQL, Oracle to AWS).
We handle both. Tell us what system your data is in now, and where you need it to go.

What Makes or Breaks a Data Migration
Data migration isn't just copying records from A to B. These are the areas that determine whether your migration succeeds or creates problems for months after.
Data Cleansing & Quality
Every migration starts with cleansing. We remove duplicates, standardise formats, validate records, and archive dead data - so your new system starts clean.
Data Mapping & Transformation
Source and target systems rarely match field-for-field. We create detailed mapping documents, handle data type conversions, and build transformation logic.
Historical Data Decisions
Not all history needs to migrate. We help you decide what to bring across, what to archive, and what to leave behind - balancing reporting needs with cost.
Data Integrity & Validation
Checksums, record counts, relationship validation, and business rule verification. We reconcile source and target until the numbers match exactly.
Security & Compliance
Encrypted transfers, secure staging environments, audit trails, and compliance with Australian data handling standards.
Downtime Planning & Rollback
We plan for zero or minimal downtime with parallel running, phased cutover, and tested rollback procedures.
From Discovery to Go-Live
A clear, structured process that keeps you informed at every stage. No black boxes, no surprises.
Discover
We review your source systems, profile the data, understand relationships and dependencies, and document what needs to migrate.
Map
We create field-by-field mapping between source and target, identify transformation rules, and develop a data cleansing plan for problem areas.
Build
We build migration scripts, cleanse the data, and run test migrations in a sandboxed environment. Multiple rounds of testing until the results are right.
Validate
Source and target are reconciled side-by-side - record counts, checksums, relationship integrity, and business rule validation.
Launch
Final migration run, system cutover, integration reconnection, and user verification. We manage the entire go-live process.
Support
Post-migration support to handle any issues, answer questions, and verify everything is running smoothly in the new system.
