Repeatable, reconciled pipelines — not a one-time export and load.

Data migration requires more than exporting and loading records. Relationships, ownership, business meaning, data quality and reconciliation must survive the transition.

1. Data inventory

Define source objects, record counts, owners, quality issues and retention requirements. Include custom objects and the relationships between records—HCP to HCO affiliations, call to account, sample to call—because those relationships carry much of the business meaning.

2. Source-to-target mapping
