Platform Migrations
We plan and execute website, commerce, application, and data migrations. Each migration begins by defining the source, destination, data and features in scope, known limitations, validation method, cutover approach, and customer responsibilities.
How we can help
- Discovery, inventory, dependency mapping, and migration planning
- Data export, transformation, import, and agreed reconciliation
- Design or theme implementation
- Feature, integration, and redirect mapping
- Analytics, DNS, and technical cutover coordination
- Test migrations, quality assurance, and user acceptance support
- Launch planning, rollback preparation, and post-launch review
Engagement options
- Migration assessment to define feasibility and risk
- Data migration between supported systems
- Full platform migration covering build, data, integrations, and launch
- Cutover support for a customer-led implementation
What shapes scope
- Source and destination systems
- Data volume, quality, relationships, and export access
- Design, functionality, app, and integration differences
- SEO, redirects, analytics, and domain changes
- Downtime tolerance and synchronization requirements
- Testing, compliance, and record-retention needs
Important considerations
Platforms represent data, permissions, features, URLs, and integrations differently. The migration plan identifies what can be moved, rebuilt, substituted, archived, or excluded. You retain the source system and independent copies of important data until your authorized reviewer completes final validation.
Search visibility, third-party behavior, and business performance can change after a migration even when the agreed technical steps are completed. We monitor and address the items included in the Order, but external platforms and customer operations remain separate dependencies.
What we need from you
- Authorized source and destination access
- Accurate inventory and priorities
- Subject-matter experts for data and workflow decisions
- Timely user acceptance testing and written approval
- A named launch decision-maker and escalation path
