Get the hard parts right.
Data conversion and integration management, plus the requirements and solution design underneath, run with the rigor these workstreams demand.
Conversion & reconciliation
Four workstreams that quietly decide go-live.
Nobody demos data conversion. It is also the thing most likely to sink the date.
Clean, mapped, reconciled
Extract, transform, and load run with reconciliation, so what lands in production is trusted.
Make the systems talk
Interfaces designed, sequenced, and tested so the ecosystem holds on day one.
Pinned down before build
Clear, testable requirements that stop scope from drifting mid-project.
Decisions documented, not assumed
The design that ties requirements to configuration, so build has one answer, not five.
The unglamorous work that makes or breaks the date.
Requirements, design, data, and integrations, run with the rigor the demos never show.
Requirements
Testable requirements, signed off before build.
Solution design
Configuration decisions documented and owned.
Data conversion
Mapped, loaded, reconciled, and validated.
Integration management
Interfaces built, sequenced, and tested end to end.
Data is where optimism meets reality.
I have seen a go-live slip on a data load nobody stress-tested, and hold because someone reconciled early. The mechanics do not forgive shortcuts.
Workday-deep and platform-agnostic. The integration patterns change. The rigor that keeps data honest does not.
Get the Data Readiness Scorecard
The data and integration readiness checklist I run these workstreams from. DM me on LinkedIn and I will send it over.
Worried about data or integrations?
Start with a candid readiness read, fast, independent, and pointed at the workstreams most likely to surprise you. Three complimentary 30-minute reviews open each month.
