Frequently Asked Data Migration Questions
The most reliable approach is to work through the project in stages rather than attempting a single large transfer. Start with a complete audit of your source data — what exists, what condition it is in, and what the target system requires. Resolve data quality issues before migration rather than planning to fix them afterwards. Map every field explicitly, test with a representative sample before the full migration, and have a clear fallback plan if the go-live does not go as expected. The most common cause of data loss in migrations is not technical failure — it is inadequate preparation before the migration task is started.
The key checks are: duplicates across key record types such as contacts, companies and products; mandatory fields that are blank or populated with placeholder values; inconsistent formatting in fields such as telephone numbers, postcodes and dates; records that are no longer relevant and should be archived or deleted rather than migrated; and relationship integrity — whether related records such as contacts linked to accounts or line items linked to orders are correctly associated. Running these checks before migration prevents the problems from being amplified in the new system.
If the project involves personal data — customer records, employee data, any information that identifies an individual — GDPR and Privacy law applies. Before cleaning or moving data you need to ensure data protection standards are at the centre of your data checks. This applies to migrations, AI builds, automations and any reporting that includes personal data. Consider the lawful basis for processing, check data retention rules and the rights of individuals.
