Most data migrations transfer the problem — not just the data
Moving records from one system to another is technically straight forward. Delivering data that actually works in the new system is the hard part. Does any of this sound familiar?
You're moving to a new ERPor CMMS and already worried about the state of the data on the other side.
The vendor says migrationis straightforward. Your team knows from experience that it won't be.
You've done a migrationbefore and spent the first year after go-live fixing data problems that cameacross with it.
You don't have the internalresource or specialist knowledge to manage the data quality work alongside themigration project.
Your source system hasyears of accumulated errors, duplicates, and inconsistencies — and you don'twant to bring them along.
Data migration is a data quality project — not just an IT project
The value of a new ERP or CMMS depends entirely on the quality of the data inside it from day one. Sharecat Data Services ensures your data is assessed, cleansed, enriched, and correctly mapped beforeit moves anywhere — so go-live is a clean start, not the beginning of a dataremediation programme.
We analyse your source system data across every dimension: completeness, accuracy, duplicates, and classification gaps. You receive a full picture before any decisions are made.
2
Mapping
We map every field from your source system to the target system, identifying mismatches, format differences, and missing data that needs to be resolved before migration.
3
Cleanse and enrich
We fix errors, resolve duplicates, and fill critical gaps in the source data. Only clean, complete, correctly structured data moves to the new system.
4
Migrate and validate
Data is transferred to the target system. We reconcile every record — confirming completeness and accuracy in the new environment before go-live.
5
Delivery and handover
We deliver a full migration report— what moved, what changed, and what was fixed — and support your team in confirming the new system is operating correctly.
WHAT YOU GET
A clean starting point — not a copy of your old problems in a new system
Go-live withdata that works
Clean, complete, correctly structured data in your new system from day one — not a migration backlog to manage after launch.
Full traceability
Every change made before and during migration is logged. You have a complete audit trail of what moved, what changed, and why.
Reduced project risk
Data problems are caught and resolved before go-live — not discovered six months after, when they're farmore expensive to fix.
A foundation for the new system
Cataloged, classified, and enriched data supports automation, reporting, and AI from the moment the new system is live.
FAQ
Everything you need to know about our Data Migration service.
What systems does Sharecat support for data migration?
Sharecat delivers migrated data in the format required by SAP, Maximo, IFS, Oracle, and other ERP and CMMS systems. We handle field mapping, format conversion, and validation to ensure data is import-ready in the target system.
What does Sharecat's migration process include?
Sharecat’s migration process covers: source system data quality assessment, field-by-field data mapping between source and target system, cleansing and enrichment of records prior to migration, standards alignment, post-migration validation and reconciliation, and a full delivery report with change log and quality metrics.
Why is data quality important before a migration?
The cost of fixing data problems after go-live is consistently three to five times higher than addressing them before migration — and the operational disruption is significantly greater. A clean migration starts with a clean dataset. Sharecat ensures data is assessed, corrected, and correctly mapped before it moves anywhere.
What is industrial data migration?
Industrial data migration is the process of moving your equipment and materials data from one ERP or CMMS system to another. Done correctly, migration includes cleansing, mapping, and validating data before go-live — so the new system starts with data that works, not a copy of the old system’s problems.
