Controlled Data Migration
From Source to Evidence

A visual ETL and data migration platform for regulated and quality-conscious environments. Design your migration, validate it, execute it in a governed manner, and produce audit-ready evidence — all in one controlled workflow.

The Problem We Solve
Most Migration Projects Fail Quietly

Not with a crash — with a spreadsheet nobody can explain six months later. Mapping logic that made sense in January. Transformation rules nobody documented. Evidence that was "somewhere on the shared drive."

The Status Quo Creates Risk

Most data migration work relies on handwritten scripts, manual spreadsheet mapping, and undocumented transformation logic. When something goes wrong — or when an auditor asks why a record looks the way it does — there's no traceable answer. DataForge replaces that uncertainty with a governed, visual, evidence-generating migration workflow that makes the "why" as clear as the "what."

Visual Migration Design

Build migration flows visually using a node-based canvas. No coding required. Every transformation, filter, lookup, and validation rule is visible, reviewable, and documented.

Built-In Approval Workflow

Migration flows go through formal review and approval before execution. No more running untested scripts in production. Every approved migration is controlled and traceable.

Audit-Ready Evidence Output

Every execution generates mapping specifications, execution summaries, reconciliation reports, traceability reports, and executive summaries — ready for review and audit.

Data and File Migration Together

Move records and their associated documents, attachments, and files in the same controlled workflow. No separate tooling, no manual file handling, no gaps in the evidence trail.

Preview Before Execution

See exactly what the migration will produce before running it in production. Review rejected rows, warnings, and transformation results on sample data first.

Qualification & Production Runs

Separate qualification runs for testing and production runs for live execution. Each run type generates appropriate evidence and maintains a clear distinction in the audit trail.

How It Works
Seven Steps to a Controlled Migration

DataForge guides your team through a structured migration process — from source definition through evidence generation — with review and approval gates at every critical point.

01

Define the Source

Connect to your source system — CSV, Excel, JSON, XML, SQL Server, MySQL, or fixed-width files. Define the data shape and preview what's available.

02

Map & Transform

Visually map source fields to target outputs. Apply transformations, filters, lookups, joins, aggregations, and custom logic using the node designer.

03

Add Validation Rules

Define required fields, value ranges, allowed values, regex patterns, and routing rules. Rejected and warning rows are automatically separated and documented.

04

Preview Results

Run a preview against sample data. Review expected output, rejected rows, and warning counts before committing to full execution.

05

Review & Approve

Submit the migration flow for review. Approvers review the mapping logic, transformation rules, and validation criteria before execution is permitted.

06

Execute

Run the approved migration under controlled conditions. Qualification runs for testing, production runs for live data. Every execution is logged and timestamped.

07

Generate Evidence

Automatically generate mapping specifications, execution summaries, reconciliation reports, traceability reports, and SHA256-verified file manifests.

Use Cases
Built for Regulated Migration Work

DataForge is a strong fit wherever data migration requires traceability, evidence, and a defensible audit trail.

LIMS & ERP Migration

Migrate legacy laboratory or enterprise system data to a new platform with full traceability, reconciliation evidence, and audit-ready output.

Regulated Data Cleanup

Standardize, de-duplicate, and transform data in a regulated environment with documented rules, approval workflow, and execution evidence.

Document & Attachment Migration

Move records and their associated files together. SHA256 file hashing, manifest generation, and related file tracking keep the evidence complete.

System Consolidation

Merge data from multiple source systems into a single target with join, merge, and lookup logic documented and approved before any data moves.

CRO & Validation Consultants

Run multiple client migration projects with a consistent, governed approach. Annual license covers unlimited projects — no per-engagement re-purchase.

Partner Validation Services

Bundle DataForge with SR Technology Services delivery for a complete managed migration — governed design, controlled execution, and full evidence package.

DataForge + ValSuite — The Complete Regulated Implementation

Organizations replacing a regulated system need two things: migrate the legacy data into the new system (DataForge) and formally validate the new system (ValSuite). Together they cover the complete regulated implementation lifecycle — from first data record to approved validation package. Available as a combined package with preferred pricing.
