Inventory data and operational meaning
List every source, owner, field, status, relationship, identifier, attachment, and retention requirement. Document what each challenge, customer, payout, and support status means before mapping it to the new system.
Design the mapping and exception policy
| Data set | Migration questions |
|---|---|
| Customers | How are duplicates, consent, ownership, notes, and contact history resolved? |
| Accounts | How do legacy phases, balances, resets, breaches, and permissions map? |
| Payouts | Which evidence, approvals, statuses, and communication must remain auditable? |
| Attribution | Can campaign, affiliate, and original acquisition context be retained? |
Rehearse with representative data
Control cutover and rollback
Define the source freeze, final delta import, user communication, credential handling, verification window, go/no-go authority, and rollback conditions. Keep the source available read-only until reconciliation and operator acceptance are complete.
Validate the operating workflow
A successful technical import can still fail operationally. Support, risk, finance, and management should each complete their critical daily tasks before the migration is accepted.
