// MigQuest methodology

Five phases, from data chaos to Go-Live.

Audit, build, stabilize, validate and go to production. A chain designed as an execution system, not as a sequence of steps to tick off.

01 PHASE 1 / 5

Audit

Face the reality of the data

The audit phase aims to understand the data as it actually exists in the source systems.

It relies on extracting and analyzing the real data, measuring the effective volumes, identifying inconsistencies, duplicates and edge cases, and understanding the functional dependencies.

The goal is to get a clear picture of what is genuinely migratable and the associated risks.

02 PHASE 2 / 5

Build

Build the migration system

Migration is not treated as a set of one-off scripts, but as an industrial system.

This phase consists of building a configurable, traceable and repeatable migration chain, able to evolve run after run.

The system is designed to support iterations, corrections and scaling up, while keeping full visibility over the processing performed.

03 PHASE 3 / 5

Run / Fix

Stabilize through execution

The system is run on real functional scopes (parts, assemblies, structures, etc.).

Each run brings discrepancies or anomalies to light, which are then analyzed and corrected.

These Run / Fix loops chain together gradually, scope after scope, until business rules, data and processing are stabilized. Each iteration strengthens the overall reliability of the migration.

04 PHASE 4 / 5

Dry Run

Validate the whole chain

Once the scopes are stabilized, a dry run is carried out across the entire chain.

It is a complete execution, at real volume, covering all the data and processing.

This is not a demonstration, but a dress rehearsal meant to confirm that the system holds up at real scale.

05 PHASE 5 / 5

Go-Live

Go to production without surprises

Going to production happens once the migration is already under control.

The data, the business rules and the processing have been proven through repeated execution.

Going live becomes a controlled step, with no late discoveries and no surprise effect.
