Data Migration
Switch systems without losing a single ticket, article or asset. We transfer your complete history to the new environment with validation at every step.
Years of operation recorded in tickets, knowledge base and inventory cannot be left behind. We migrate data from your legacy system to GLPI or any other ITSM, with full traceability and guaranteed integrity.
What we migrate
Each data type is handled with a specific extraction, transformation and validation strategy.
Tickets, follow-ups, tasks, approvals, attachments and SLAs. The complete service history, including original dates and assignees.
Articles, categories, attachments and links. Technical and operational documentation preserved with its original structure.
Computers, peripherals, software, licenses and item relationships. Complete inventory with change history.
Accounts, profiles, groups, entities and access rules. Organizational structure replicated in the target system.
Records, contracts, SLAs, contacts and linked documents. Third-party management without rework.
Ticket templates, categories, automations, business rules and approval workflows. Operational logic transferred.
How it works
Structured process in 5 stages, with validation at each phase to ensure integrity.
Source system analysis: data model, volume, quality and dependencies. We identify risks before moving any record.
Scope definition, timeline, field-by-field mapping and acceptance criteria. Nothing is migrated without a validated plan.
Data ETL via API or direct database access. Format conversion, normalization and deduplication.
Integrity check: record count, content sampling and functional testing in the target environment.
Planned cutover with maintenance window, delta migration of records created during transition and post-migration support.
Frequently asked questions
Is there a risk of losing data during the migration?
No. We always work on a copy of the source system, never on the live environment. Before go-live we run a full test migration, compare record counts and content samples between source and target, and only move forward after your sign-off. The old system stays intact and accessible as a fallback throughout the process.
Do we have to stop operations during the migration?
Almost none. Extraction and transformation run in parallel with normal operations, without affecting users. There is only a short cutover window at go-live to migrate the records created since the last load (delta) and point the team to the new system. We schedule that window during low-traffic hours, with a defined rollback plan.
What about fields that do not exist in the new system?
During planning we map every field between source and target. Fields with no direct equivalent are handled case by case: we create custom fields, convert them to the target model, or preserve the data in a history field. Statuses, priorities, categories and dates are normalized so the original meaning of each record is not lost.
Which systems do you migrate from?
ServiceNow, BMC Helix (Remedy), TOPdesk, Jira Service Management, Zendesk, Freshdesk, Freshservice, ManageEngine, SysAid, Movidesk, OTRS/Znuny, osTicket, Zammad, legacy GLPI and more. We also migrate from spreadsheets, databases and custom in-house systems via API or direct access to the source database.
Where we migrate from
Experience with the leading ITSM and ESM systems on the market. If your system has an API or accessible database, we can migrate it.
