Migration assurance for critical records

Know what reconciles - and what does not - before a migration decision becomes a production problem.

WigginsWare helps implementation partners and operating teams define and test bounded reconciliation controls across one source/target pair, starting with a Migration Assurance Diagnostic.

Choose the smallest useful starting point.

The Migration Assurance Diagnostic is the starting point. A Reconciliation Control Build is considered only when the diagnostic produces a bounded scope and readiness is separately confirmed.

Recommended starting point

Migration Assurance Diagnostic

A three-week, 28-delivery-hour-capped diagnostic for one source/target pair focused on critical-record validation, reconciliation, and exception classification.

Up to three critical entity families, eight agreed reconciliation controls, two designated client SMEs, two extract iterations, and three scheduled meetings.

What is examined

Record definitions, source-to-target mapping assumptions, control logic, exception patterns, evidence gaps, ownership, and decision consequences.

What you receive
  • Defined scope and reconciliation-control matrix
  • Sample-backed reconciliation results
  • Exception and risk register
  • Decision brief with a bounded next-step recommendation

No full migration, implementation, production change, production support, compliance assurance, cutover approval, or guarantee of migration completeness or success is included.

Conditional follow-through

Reconciliation Control Build

An 8-10-week, 80-delivery-hour-capped, separately scoped non-production implementation of agreed reconciliation controls after the diagnostic proves the scope is bounded and readiness is confirmed.

Required before work begins
  • The diagnostic has established an agreed control scope and written acceptance criteria
  • Required non-production data, access, and client or partner ownership are approved
  • Production deployment, rollback, monitoring, and operations remain with the client or prime partner
  • WigginsWare capacity and start readiness are confirmed separately
Example project shapes
  • Repeatable source-to-target reconciliation checks
  • Exception classification and review outputs
  • Tested control package with runbook and one assisted handoff

No production deployment, rollback ownership, monitoring, operations, broad migration ownership, or open-ended support.

If scope or readiness is not yet confirmed, the Migration Assurance Diagnostic remains the only starting point.

Examples of how reconciliation findings could be documented.

Blocking - excludeCustomer mismatch with work order

The invoice and linked work order disagree on customer identity. Without a control, an amount can enter reporting while its source records conflict.

Recommended treatment

Exclude invoice row and amount. Confirm or correct the source value with the responsible owner.

Review - acceptIssued or paid invoice on non-closed work order

Billing activity and work-order completion do not align. The condition warrants review, but the proof does not establish that the invoice amount is invalid.

Recommended treatment

Accept invoice and include its amount; retain review finding. Confirm or correct the source value with the responsible owner.

Synthetic / non-production. Synthetic demonstration using fictional, non-production data. This shows validation, reconciliation, and exception-classification methods only - not a full migration, production system, client result, market evidence, or a claim of savings.
