Why TalentIQ

SAP migrations fail on data quality
Not on the HANA platform.

Unlike generalist system integrators who treat data migration as an afterthought, TalentIQ approaches it as a structured, phased delivery — with dedicated extraction, cleansing, transformation, and load workstreams.

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.

Full audit trail
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.

Methodology

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.
