VMG Tack, senior-only execution and validation agreed up front keep it off the critical path. What We Deliver ## Comprehensive *data migration services* From full-scale SAP migrations to complex carve-outs and system consolidations, VMG Labs brings the expertise and tooling for demanding data transformation programs. ### SAP data migration End-to-end migration to SAP S/4HANA from legacy ECC, Oracle or other ERP platforms. Greenfield, brownfield and hybrid scenarios, covering master data, transactional data, custom objects and historical records. ### Selective Data Transition (SDT) Migrate the data sets you need and leave behind what you don’t: a clean S/4HANA environment without losing critical history. SDT supports reassigning company codes, harmonizing charts of accounts and consolidating multiple ERP instances. ### Carve-outs and divestitures When M&A or restructuring separates business units, we extract the right configuration, master data and transactional history from source systems and stand up independent SAP environments for divested entities. Why VMG Labs ## Migration expertise *you can trust* ▲ ### Proven methodology Every migration follows a structured method covering profiling, mapping, extraction, transformation, validation and cutover. ▲ ### Minimal business disruption Flexible cutover options, including phased go-lives and near-zero-downtime approaches, keep operations running. ▲ ### End-to-end data integrity Automated validation at every stage, in bulk, both qualitative and technical, so data arrives complete, accurate and reconciled. Method ## How a migration runs: *the VMG Tack approach* 01 ### Profile before you plan Source profiling first, so the plan is built on the data you actually have rather than on the data model you were shown. 02 ### Cleanse at source Remediation happens in the source system wherever possible — transformation rules that hide bad data become permanent liabilities. 03 ### Automate the load Repeatable, versioned load runs so a mock cutover is a rehearsal rather than a one-off event. 04 ### Reconcile to finance Balance and volume reconciliation signed off by the finance team, with thresholds agreed before the first mock run. Our Own Migration ## We practice *what we preach* VMG Labs completed its own migration from Oracle NetSuite to SAP Cloud ERP. That gives us firsthand experience of the challenges, decisions and opportunities of a full-scale ERP transformation, so when we advise on your migration, we speak from direct experience. [Read about our move](https://vmglabs.com/insights/netsuite-to-sap-cloud) Tooling ## The right tools *for the job* ### Automated migration Our migration platform reads, analyzes, extracts and transforms data from SAP, Oracle, Salesforce, Microsoft and other sources, then writes it to the target environment. Automation shortens the timeline and reduces project risk, cost and manual effort. ### Validated at every stage Data verification, quality measurement and process integrity are automated across the lifecycle. Built-in data protection identifies and safeguards personal data, trade secrets and sensitive information, keeping the migration GDPR-compliant. ### Any source, any target SAP ECC, Oracle, Salesforce, Microsoft Dynamics and other enterprise platforms. Support for SAP NetWeaver, SAP HANA, S/4HANA and non-SAP landscapes gives you a single partner for multi-system programs. Databricks ## Data migration with *Databricks* Databricks makes it simpler to move off legacy data warehouses, on-premises Hadoop, or other cloud platforms onto a modern, open lakehouse. ### Plan and load Built-in assessment and code-conversion tools help you plan the move and translate existing SQL and ETL logic. Data is loaded at scale through Apache Spark, Auto Loader, and managed connectors with change data capture, so source and target stay in sync while you migrate in phases rather than all at once. ### Land, run and govern Migrated data lands in Delta Lake, giving you reliable, versioned tables you can validate and roll back. Workloads run on Databricks SQL and automated pipelines, while Unity Catalog provides unified governance, security, and lineage from day one. The result is a faster, lower-risk migration to a single platform ready for analytics, BI, and AI.
