Data Migration Pitfalls and How Yardi Consulting Experts Avoid Them

Ask any controller and they’ll tell you the scariest part of changing software is data migration. Yardi Consulting Experts mitigate risk through a proven five-step protocol. Step one: run a detailed data audit to identify duplicates, obsolete vendors, and inconsistent chart-of-accounts structures. Step two: normalize the data in staging tables, enforcing naming conventions so GL roll-ups reconcile cleanly. Step three: execute test migrations in a sandbox, validating key reports—rent rolls, payables aging, owner statements—against the legacy system. Step four: obtain sign-offs from business stakeholders, not just IT. Step five: schedule the final cut-over on a low-transaction weekend and keep both systems live in read-only mode for at least 30 days. Because they’ve done this hundreds of times, Yardi Consulting Experts can adapt scripts quickly when unexpected fields appear, and they maintain a library of validation queries that catch orphaned records before they wreak havoc. The result? Clean, trustworthy data on day one, fewer audit adjustments, and a finance team that sleeps at night.
