Data Migration & System Integration

Extract data from legacy systems, transform it to match new platforms, and import it cleanly—without the manual export/import headaches or data loss risks.

The Migration Challenge

Data Trapped in Old Systems

Legacy HRIS, accounting platforms, or custom databases hold years of critical data, but exporting clean, usable data is often impossible without technical expertise.

Incompatible Formats

Even when you can export from the old system, the data rarely matches the import format for the new platform—different field names, date formats, validation rules.

Risky Manual Processes

Copy-pasting between systems, manually reformatting spreadsheets, and test imports create data quality issues and migration delays.

Full-Service Data Migration

1

Extract from Legacy Systems

We pull data from your existing platforms—even when standard export options are limited or nonexistent:

HRIS/Payroll: Legacy ADP, Paychex, QuickBooks Payroll, Ceridian, custom HR databases
Accounting/ERP: Old QuickBooks Desktop, Sage, Peachtree, MYOB, custom Access databases
Timekeeping: Legacy time clocks, punch systems, spreadsheet-based tracking
CRM/Operations: Old Salesforce instances, ACT!, Goldmine, FileMaker databases

We work with database exports, API access, screen-scraping tools, or report exports—whatever it takes to get your data out safely.

2

Transform & Map Data

We don't just extract data—we transform it to match your new system's exact requirements:

Old System FieldNew System Field
emp_first, emp_lastemployee_full_name
hire_dt (MM/DD/YYYY)hire_date (YYYY-MM-DD)
dept_code (A, B, C)department_id (101, 102, 103)
  • Field name mapping and renaming
  • Date format conversion and timezone handling
  • Code/ID value translation (department codes, pay types, location IDs)
  • Data validation and cleanup (remove duplicates, fix formatting errors)
  • Split or merge fields to match new schema

Import Into New Systems

We don't just hand you files—we help you get the data loaded into your new platform:

Common Migration Scenarios

HRIS Platform Upgrade

Moving from legacy Paychex, ADP Classic, or QuickBooks Payroll to modern cloud HRIS like Paylocity, UKG, BambooHR, or Workday.

We migrate: Employee demographics, compensation history, tax elections, direct deposit, benefit enrollments, PTO balances, performance reviews

Accounting System Migration

Transitioning from QuickBooks Desktop, Sage 50, or Peachtree to QuickBooks Online, Xero, NetSuite, or other cloud accounting platforms.

We migrate: Chart of accounts, vendor records, customer data, historical invoices, payment history, open balances

M&A System Consolidation

Merging data from acquired companies' disparate systems into your unified platform.

We migrate: Harmonize employee IDs, reconcile duplicate vendors/customers, map department codes, consolidate GL accounts

Custom Database Retirement

Sunsetting old Access databases, FileMaker systems, or homegrown applications and moving to modern SaaS platforms.

We migrate: Extract from proprietary formats, map custom fields to standard schemas, preserve historical data and relationships

Why It Matters

Reduce Migration Risk

Faster Go-Live

Weeks instead of months. No endless manual reformatting or trial-and-error imports.

Preserve Data Integrity
