Why TalentIQSAP migrations fail on data quality
SAP migrations fail on data quality
Not on the HANA platform.
A reliable migration needs more than moving records. We define data ownership and quality rules, document transformation decisions, and carry controls through each mock cycle, cutover, and business sign-off.
Our BODS accelerators include pre-configured dataflows for Materials, Vendors, Customers, FI open items, Fixed Assets, and HR objects — cutting build time significantly versus custom development.

Visual Playbook
Make the migration understandable to everyone.
Our sketchnote-style process makes technical work visible to programme sponsors, data owners, stewards, and business users — so decisions happen earlier and with less ambiguity.
DATA MIGRATION / VISUAL FIELD GUIDE
From messy source
to trusted data.
Every migration is a story: understand what exists, make it usable, then prove it arrived intact.
TQDATA READY
Profile
Surface duplicates, gaps, invalid values, and inconsistent definitions.
next →Clean
Standardise, enrich, match, merge, and approve rules with stewards.
next →Transform
Translate legacy structures into a governed target model.
next →Validate
Reconcile counts, totals, relationships, and business acceptance.
next →Go live
Load with confidence, monitor exceptions, and keep improving.

Watch how master data and open transactions move from legacy systems into SAP S/4HANA, with SAP BODS and SAP Information Steward supporting the process.
MethodologySix Workstreams.
Six Workstreams.
One End-to-End Migration Delivery.
From initial scoping to post-go-live hypercare — we manage the full ECC-to-HANA data migration lifecycle.
Phase 1 · Weeks 1–4
Assess & Scope
Object inventory, data volume sizing, quality profiling, and complexity scoring across your ECC landscape — before a single line of BODS code is written.
Object inventory & scope freeze
Data quality profiling
BODS environment setup
Project charter & RACI
Phase 2 · Weeks 5–8
Extract & Cleanse
BODS-driven extraction from ECC source tables, automated cleansing rules, deduplication, and business validation before transformation begins.
Mapping workshops
Field-level mapping docs
Cleansing rules & DQ reports
BODS dataflow build (MVP)
Phase 3 · Weeks 9–15
Transform & Load
Pre-built and custom BODS dataflows for ECC-to-HANA object loading. Mapping documents, field-level transformation logic, and pre-load validation reports.
First full data load cycle
Reconciliation report
Issue log & BODS fixes
Business user review
Phase 4 · Weeks 16–30
Rehearse & Validate
Three structured mock cycles with increasing data scope, performance benchmarking, and business sign-off gates before cutover is approved.
Full-volume mock loads
UAT support & sign-off
Performance benchmarking
Preload sign-off gate
Phase 5 · Weeks 31–38
Cutover & Go-Live
Cutover plan execution, delta load management, go/no-go criteria, and final data freeze coordination aligned to your system integration partner.
Data freeze & delta loads
Final load execution
Go/no-go criteria check
Cutover plan sign-off
Hypercare
Post Go-Live
Post-load reconciliation reports, exception resolution, business user sign-off support, and hypercare coverage through the stabilisation window.

Exception resolution
Business user sign-off
