Plan your migration

Share scope and timeline. We return a tailored HRIS migration plan within 24 hours.

    HRIS migration that protects data quality and trust.

    HRIS migration is the structured move of people data, history, and processes into a new platform. Great HR data migration reduces errors, lifts reporting quality, and speeds adoption. It aligns data mapping, validation rules, and a clear cutover plan so Finance, HR, and IT can sign off with confidence. Done poorly, you inherit old issues and create new ones. We bring a repeatable method that proves accuracy early and lands the new HR system ready for scale.

    Discovery & Inventory

    We start HRIS migration by mapping sources, owners, and data quality. We catalogue people, job, comp, benefits, time, and security data, plus attachments and consents. We assess gaps, duplicates, and policy conflicts, then agree scope and priorities across regions and entities. This creates a shared baseline for HR data migration, sets realistic timelines, and prevents late surprises when you switch from legacy to new HR system.

    Data Mapping & Rules

    Clean mapping avoids messy fixes later. We build source to target mappings with clear rules for codes, hierarchies, dates, and history. We document transformations, defaults, and exception handling so teams know what changes and why. Reference data is standardised to reduce reconciliation noise. This gives your HR data migration a stable backbone and aligns design choices with reporting and security needs in the new HR system.

    Staged Loads & Validation

    Evidence beats opinions. We plan iterative loads that grow in volume and coverage. Each cycle includes automated checks, spot audits, and business sign off. Validation covers counts, totals, date logic, and relationship integrity. Issues are logged, fixed, and retested with clear owners. By proving accuracy as we scale, HRIS migration becomes predictable and audit friendly, not a last minute scramble.

    Cutover Plan & Readiness

    Go live hinges on timing and roles. We design a cutover plan that defines blackout windows, freeze points, handoffs, and rollbacks. We script tasks by hour, set checkpoints, and confirm signers. The cutover plan aligns data mapping, validation results, and environment readiness so your HR data migration completes on schedule and the new HR system is stable from day one.

    Stabilisation & Optimisation

    The first cycles decide perception. We run hypercare with dashboards, reconciliations, and fast fixes. We tune reports, permissions, and integrations, then hand over a clean runbook and improvement backlog. This ensures HRIS migration value compounds after go live and that leaders see reliable data in audits, dashboards, and board packs.

    Build, Validate, and Cutover

    We run staged loads, automate checks, and track fixes to zero. We lock the cutover plan, rehearse tasks, and complete HR data migration with clear sign off. Your legacy to new HR system transition lands cleanly, with audit evidence and a stable first cycle.

    What We Offer:

    • Repeatable load pipelines and logs
    • Automated and manual validation packs
    • Exception management with root cause actions
    • Cutover rehearsal and rollback plans
    • Hypercare and post go live tuning

    Frequently asked questions

    About Our HR System and HR Data Migration Services

    What is HRIS migration and why does it matter?
    HRIS migration is the structured move of HR data, rules, and processes into a new platform. It matters because data quality, reporting, and security depend on it. A proven HR data migration approach reduces errors and shortens time to value.
    We document source to target mappings with rules for codes, hierarchies, and dates. We agree exceptions and defaults up front. This makes HRIS migration choices clear, traceable, and easy to test.
    Each load has automated and manual checks. We reconcile counts and totals, check date logic, and test relationships. Issues are logged, fixed, and retested until acceptance criteria are met.
    Timings, freeze points, responsibilities, approvals, and rollback steps. The cutover plan coordinates teams and tasks so the switch from legacy to new HR system lands cleanly and on time.
    We inventory document types, map metadata, and script loads where supported. For sensitive items, we confirm consent and retention rules to keep compliance intact.
    Yes, depending on platform capability. We assess the need for history vs snapshots and design HR data migration loads that preserve required context for reporting and audit.
    Typical programmes run 8 to 16 weeks depending on scope, data quality, and integrations. Iterative loads and rehearsed cutover keep timelines realistic and controlled.
    Dirty source data, code standardisation, missing owners, and late scope changes. Our method addresses these early with standards, governance, and staged validation.
    Yes. We design a template approach with local variations. Loads and validation scale by entity while keeping central controls consistent across the new HR system.
    We restrict access, mask sensitive fields in lower environments, and log every action. Security and GDPR considerations are embedded into the HRIS migration plan.
    Yes. We partner with the software vendor and internal IT, HR, and Finance to align mappings, environments, and cutover windows so the programme moves as one team.
    We run hypercare, complete reconciliations, and close open items. We hand over a tuned runbook and an improvement backlog to keep the new HR system evolving.
