Migration (Migr8)
Migrations that finish in months, with nothing missing.
Migr8 connects your source and destination applications API to API, maps every required metadata field, and moves records in one run, in phases or continuously, with an item-level audit trail on all of it.
- 3 to 6months, typical in our projects
- Item-levelaudit trail on every record
How Migr8 moves your records
Illustrative, example systems
integr8 connects to InEight Documents, Mail and Forms, plus SharePoint and your EDRMS, API to API. Nothing is replaced and nobody touches a database.
The problem
Most migrations do not fail on day one. They fail at audit.
A typical migration project runs 12 to 18 months with a large team, and the errors surface at the end, when fixing them costs the most.
Missing documents and lost metadata turn the handover into a negotiation, and a human has to decide what is acceptable.
The team disbands, the knowledge leaves, and the next migration starts from zero again.
How it works
Step by step, no black box.
Connect
Connect the source and destination applications API to API. No database access, nothing replaced.
Map
Map every required metadata field from source to destination, so each record arrives complete.
Run
Move records in one run, in staged phases, or continuously as new records arrive.
Verify
Reconcile every batch against the audit trail and sign the handover report with evidence, not hope.
Scenarios
Where this shows up.
Retiring a legacy system
The old platform is expensive and fragile, but everything in it still matters. Migr8 moves the records to the destination with their metadata, so the legacy system can finally be switched off without losing what it held.
Machinery-of-government change
Functions move between departments and the records have to move with them, complete and defensible. Migr8 runs the movement in phases that match the change, with an audit trail that stands up to scrutiny.
Consolidating after an acquisition
Several systems or instances need to become one, often multi-terabyte, with metadata that does not match. A profiling phase links and enriches the metadata, then the consolidation runs with reconciliation at every batch.
Under the hood
What it does, and what that gives you.
Capture all your records to a single source of truth while your teams keep working where they are most efficient. Linked documents maintain their relationships, so the context stays with the record.
Complete metadata mapping
Every required source field is mapped to its destination field before anything moves.
Every record arrives as a complete record, ready for audit.
True-form records
Each record moves in its true form with its rich metadata and is placed in the destination as a complete record.
Nothing is flattened, stripped or re-keyed along the way.
One-off, staged or continuous
Run the migration in the pattern that fits the change, including continuous movement of new records.
The migration fits the change, not the other way around.
Live batch progress
Watch every batch as it runs, with volumes, warnings and blocked items as they happen.
You always know exactly what has moved and what is left.
Reconciliation and warnings
Every batch is reconciled, and anything that needs a human is queued for review rather than silently dropped.
Problems surface early, when they are cheap to fix.
Detailed audit trail
See what migrated, when, from where, to where, and what was migrated.
You can prove what moved, not just believe it.
Handover report
A complete report of the migration, ready for sign-off and audit.
The project ends with evidence, not a shrug.
Linked documents stay linked
Linked documents maintain their relationships as records move between connected systems.
Related records remain connected in your source of truth.
Proof, not promises
What a proof of concept looks like for this.
STEP 1
Connect two systems
We set up integr8 and connect your source and destination with their test data.
STEP 2
Configure together
We map the metadata and configure the run pattern with your team.
STEP 3
Run for three months
Your team runs real batches and watches the audit trail build.
STEP 4
Decide
You keep the connections and go to production, or walk away with the evidence.
Who it is for
Built for your side of the fence.
PUBLIC SECTOR
Agencies replacing legacy systems or managing machinery-of-government changes while preserving complete, defensible records.
COMMERCIAL
Organisations consolidating systems after acquisitions or moving off legacy platforms without losing metadata.
THE ROLE THAT FEELS IT MOST
The Project Lead or Migration Sponsor whose critical path is the migration, and who needs to say exactly what has moved.
