UNDERSTAND THE CHALLENGE
The business issue
Copying rows into a modern platform is only part of a migration. Organizations also need to preserve relationships, historical meaning and the ability to explain why a record differs from its source.
PUT IT INTO PRACTICE
Choose business-level acceptance checks
Reconcile totals, key relationships and representative transactions in addition to technical counts. Select difficult cases deliberately: reversals, backdated changes, inactive records and unusual product features. A migration team should know which differences are tolerable, which need explanation and which block release.
Preserve the evidence trail
Version mappings and transformations, and retain source identifiers where appropriate. Record exceptions without rewriting the source history to make reports agree. Business owners should approve the interpretation of legacy fields, particularly when documentation is incomplete or old system behavior contains unwritten rules.
Plan the period of coexistence
Decide which system is authoritative for each operation during transition. Control updates, synchronization and late corrections. Rehearse rollback and the treatment of transactions created after cutover. A fallback that restores yesterday’s files but loses today’s customer activity is not a complete recovery plan.
