Our consultants work with your digital transformation team to scope the migration of opening balances and historical data. Data is typically loaded into Xledger’s Demo environment for validation before being imported into the Production environment once accuracy and completion are agreed.

We recommend cleaning historical data before migration, as this improves project timelines and data accuracy. You can retain data archives for auditing and compliance purposes.
