Enterprise Data Migration & Modernisation
Design and execute complex migration programmes across SAP, legacy and cloud environments.
Migration is where transformation programmes are won or lost. The new platform only starts strong if its data arrives trusted, reconciled and ready to use.
Ixia has led some of the largest SAP data migrations delivered anywhere: multi-country rollouts, retail estates of thousands of stores, and legacy platforms carrying decades of history. We design the migration, build the transformation logic, prove the reconciliation and stand next to the business at cutover.

How a migration runs
Assess
Source complexity, data ownership and readiness, measured before anything is promised.
Cleanse and prepare
In-source or external cleansing against business-defined rules, so the target never inherits the problem.
Map and transform
Legacy fields translated into the target model, with enrichment logic where the business needs it.
Build and automate
Repeatable ETL in SAP Data Services, Syniti or Informatica. Built once, run every wave.
Test and reconcile
Iterative mock loads producing reconciliation evidence the business signs, not just reads.
Cut over
Timing, sequencing and validation run with the business and technical teams in one room.

Common questions
- How long does an SAP data migration take?
- It depends on objects, systems and wave count, and the mock-load cycle sets the real pace. For calibration: one retail programme we delivered ran 11 go-lives in nine months across more than 2,400 stores. We give you a timeline after the assessment step, not before it.
- Can Ixia take over a migration that is already in trouble?
- Yes. Rescue work runs through our whole history: stalled programmes, failed loads, reconciliation gaps. We stabilise the data workstream first, rebuild the evidence, then re-plan the waves.
- Which migration tools do you use?
- SAP Data Services, SAP Migration Cockpit, Syniti ADM/ADMM, JiVS, Informatica, WhereScape and KNIME, alongside SQL and Python. Reconciliation dashboards typically run in Power BI or Microsoft Fabric.
- How do you prove the data arrived correctly?
- Value-level reconciliation, not just record counts. Every wave produces evidence the business signs: reconciliation packs, audit logs and exception lists.
Planning a migration, or rescuing one?
Whether you are scoping, mid-flight or in trouble, we can take a migration from wherever it stands to a signed-off cutover.
