Prove the new system works before you switch.
The scariest moment in any migration is the cutover. We eliminate that fear by running old and new systems in parallel with automated reconciliation -- you switch over only when the new system has proven it produces the same results as the old one.
Cutovers Based on Trust Instead of Proof
Service Scope
Both systems process the same transactions simultaneously. Orders, invoices, inventory movements, and financial postings run through old and new in parallel.
Automated comparison of outputs -- order totals, inventory balances, financial summaries, and report data. Discrepancies flagged immediately for investigation.
Detailed reports on every discrepancy between old and new systems. Root cause analysis for each exception -- is it a bug, a data issue, or a business rule difference?
Predefined, measurable criteria for when to cut over -- reconciliation accuracy threshold, exception count, and processing time. No subjective judgment calls.
Option to transition user groups or business units incrementally. Start with a pilot group before cutting over the entire organization.
Legacy system remains fully operational throughout parallel running. If the new system isn\'t ready, you continue on legacy with no disruption.
Engagement Process
Define which processes run in parallel, how long, and what success looks like. Identify the reconciliation points and acceptable variance thresholds.
Build automated reconciliation scripts that compare outputs between old and new systems. Define exception categories and escalation procedures.
Run both systems in parallel for the defined period. Monitor reconciliation results daily and investigate exceptions.
Diagnose and fix discrepancies -- configuration adjustments, data corrections, or code fixes in the new system.
When reconciliation meets the defined criteria, execute the cutover. Keep legacy in read-only mode for the defined safety period.
