What leaders see
The project looks like a software or configuration issue.
Vendors, modules, timelines, and budgets dominate the conversation while the operating model remains unresolved.
Services
Legacy Modernization · Data Migration
Move decades of data without losing a single record.
Your legacy system holds 10, 20, even 30 years of data -- customer records, order history, pricing tables, inventory transactions. We migrate all of it with format conversion, cleansing, deduplication, and validation. Every record accounted for.
01
The Problem
Data Migration Is Where Modernizations Silently Fail
ERP problems usually begin before implementation. The organization chooses software before it has settled workflow fit, data ownership, integration boundaries, and go-live decision rights.
What is actually happening
The operating record is not agreed on.
Processes, master data, exceptions, reports, and handoffs do not yet agree on what the ERP must own and what it should not.
What gets worse
Workarounds become permanent architecture.
Customizations pile up, go-live risk rises, reporting trust drops, and the ERP becomes harder to improve after launch.
02
Scope
What this service has to produce.
The work is organized as modules because implementation scope should be visible before the build starts.
01
Data Profiling
Analyze every table, field, and relationship in your legacy data. Identify quality issues, data volumes, format inconsistencies, and transformation requirements before migration begins.
02
Mapping & Transformation
Define field-by-field mappings between legacy and target systems. Handle format conversions, code translations, concatenations, and business rule transformations.
03
Data Cleansing
Fix quality issues during migration -- standardize addresses, deduplicate customers, resolve orphaned records, and fill missing required fields with governed defaults.
04
Validation Framework
Automated record counts, checksum validation, and business rule verification. Every record is accounted for -- nothing lost, nothing corrupted.
05
Incremental Migration
Migrate historical data in advance, then incrementally sync changes during the transition period. Minimize cutover window and reduce go-live risk.
06
Rollback Capability
Full rollback capability at every stage. If validation fails, revert and fix without impacting the legacy system or losing data.
03
Architecture
The service has to fit the operating layer it touches.
Operating recordWhich process should change, which should configure, and which truly needs custom work.
Governance dependencyThe operating record has to be fit to the real workflow before modules, integrations, reports, or AI get built on top.
Records that must line up
customers
products
BOMs
inventory
vendors and financial records
What we check before implementation
- Which system owns the record of truth.
- Where manual work or reconciliation enters the workflow.
- Which integrations, rules, or data cleanup have to come first.
Next step
Start with the operating problem, then sequence the build.
Metrotechs maps the record, traces the workflow, identifies the leakage, and turns the scope into a practical plan for ERP, cloud, data, automation, and AI.
Built around real records, workflows, governance, and production handoffs.
Scoped to what can be implemented, owned, and operated after launch.

Delivery sequence
How the work moves from diagnosis to production.
Your legacy system holds 10, 20, even 30 years of data -- customer records, order history, pricing tables, inventory transactions. We migrate all of it with format conversion,.
01
Data Profiling
Analyze source data volumes, quality, formats, and relationships. Produce a data quality report with issues ranked by severity and migration impact.
02
Mapping Design
Design field-by-field mappings with transformation rules. Review with business stakeholders to validate that mappings preserve business meaning.
03
ETL Development
Build extraction, transformation, and loading pipelines. Automated, repeatable, and version-controlled -- not manual copy-paste.
04
Test Migration
Run full-volume test migrations against a non-production target. Validate record counts, data accuracy, and business rule compliance.
05
Production Migration
Execute the production migration with real-time monitoring, validation checkpoints, and rollback readiness. Verify before declaring success.

FAQ
Questions that usually decide the scope.
These answers help separate a real implementation plan from a generic technology discussion.
We categorize issues by severity: critical (blocks migration), major (requires business decision), and minor (automated fix). Critical and major issues are resolved before migration. Minor issues are fixed in-flight with documented rules.
