Data migration for SMEs in Belgium
Secure transfer of your historical data to a new software, without losing clients, orders, or accounting records in the process.
Changing software,
without losing ten years of history.
You are changing your invoicing software, CRM, or commercial management tool, and one question always comes up: what happens to the history accumulated in the old system? Years of client files, orders, and invoices that you absolutely cannot afford to lose.
Many businesses postpone this software change for this precise reason, or resign themselves to retyping some information by hand, at the cost of data entry errors and a truncated history in the new tool.
A poorly prepared data transfer can also duplicate files, mix up fields that do not have the same meaning from one software to another, or make information disappear that no one noticed before the transition day.
What is covered
by a data migration.
- Audit of the structure and volume of data in your old system
- Mapping fields between the old and new software
- Preliminary cleaning to remove duplicates and incomplete files
- Test migration on a sample, verified with your team
- Final transition planned to minimise disruption for your users
- Rollback plan in case an anomaly is detected after the transfer
From the old system
to the new, seamlessly.
Free assessment
Thirty minutes to understand the old system, the new target software, and what absolutely must be kept.
Detailed proposal
Scope of data to transfer, field mapping, a realistic timeframe, and a detailed price excl. VAT.
Test migration
Transfer of a sample of data, verified line by line with your team before the actual transition.
Transition & follow-up
Complete transfer, usually scheduled on an evening or weekend, followed by checks in the subsequent days.
A prepared transfer,
never improvised.
Every migration relies on transfer scripts written specifically for the pair of software involved, tested in an isolated environment before touching your real data. The files pass through secure servers located in Europe throughout the operation.
Your old software remains accessible in read-only mode after the transition, until you are certain that nothing has been forgotten in the new system.
The price depends on the volume of data, the number of fields to map, and the state of the old system. You receive a free estimate following the assessment, before making any decision.

Data migration & recovery
Businesses changing their management software, accounting tool, or CRM that want to keep a reliable history in the new system.
If your new software starts with an empty database and the history of the old one is no longer useful to you, a full migration is not necessary.
A typical example
of a controlled transition.
Take an accounting firm of a dozen people changing their invoicing software after years of using the old tool. This is an illustrative example, built from the requests we regularly receive for this type of project.
Before the transition, client files and invoice history are transferred in a test sample, verified desk by desk with the accounting team. The final transition only occurs once this check is validated, typically on an evening or a weekend to avoid interrupting business operations.
What people ask us
about data migration.
To rule out this risk, we always test the migration on a sample before the complete transition, and the old system remains accessible for review after the transfer.
The final transition is generally scheduled on an evening or a weekend, so that it affects your daytime activity as little as possible.
Yes, in read-only mode, for the time needed to ensure that everything important is indeed in the new system.
Client files, order or invoice history, associated documents, contacts: we adapt the scope to what your new software can accommodate.
