What is ROAD Data Migration?
Move and modernize your data fast — with traceability, repeatability, accuracy, privacy, and governance built in.
ROAD Data Migration is a powerful, enterprise-grade solution designed to handle complex data migrations and transformations across systems. It supports a wide range of structured data sources including Oracle, SQL Server, Postgres, MySQL, Db2, and more.
Why Choose ROAD for Data Migration?
No code/Low code automated data movement across systems
Performance and scalability for modern enterprises
Fully integrated platform with multiple use cases
Enterprise-grade security
Flexible ETL/ELT engine
Supports on-premise and multi-cloud deployments
Plug-in architecture for custom logic (extensibility)
Full audit and governance
Metadata-driven orchestration
Business Challenges
Here are the problems that Data Conversion can tackle, both from a business and technical perspective.
Obsolete Data Structures Don't Match Modern Applications
- Legacy systems use outdated schemas (flat files, hierarchical DBs, COBOL copybooks, VSAM, DB2, PeopleSoft tables, etc.) that don't align with relational or cloud-native models.
- Conversion remaps these old schemas into modern relational, object-based, or API-driven formats.
Different Data Models Between Old and New Systems
- Modern applications (ERP, CRM, HR, SaaS platforms) expect data in entirely new structures.
- Conversion handles field mapping, normalization/denormalization, and reference data translation so legacy data fits the target app cleanly
Data Quality Issues in Legacy Systems
- Legacy databases often contain duplicates, incomplete values, or inconsistent codes
- Conversion cleanses, validates, and standardizes data before loading into the new application
Incompatible Encoding and Formats
- Older systems may store data in EBCDIC, proprietary encodings, or formats unsupported by modern platforms
- Conversion translates them into UTF-8, JSON, XML, or other modern-friendly formats
Historical Data Migration Requirements
- New applications often require selected history (e.g., last 7 years of transactions) while the rest is archived.
- Conversion separates and transforms data based on retention/business rules, ensuring modern apps only get relevant, compliant history
Risk of Data Loss or Corruption During Migration
- Direct dumps from legacy to modern systems often fail due to mismatched constraints or missing validation.
- Conversion enforces reconciliation, validation checks, and audit trails to ensure accuracy.
Integration into Modern Ecosystems
- Modern applications rely on APIs, real-time data, and event-driven integrations.
- Conversion prepares data to align with these interfaces, so legacy data isn't left behind.
Business Disruption During Cutover
- Organizations fear downtime when switching from legacy to modern apps
- A structured conversion solution allows staged migrations, pilot loads, and parallel runs to minimize risk.
Two-Step Data Migration Process
ROAD follows a simple two-step approach to ensure efficient and accurate data migration for ERP migrations.
Data is extracted from JDBC-supported sources and loaded into a secure staging area for audit-ready snapshots.

Key Benefits
Minimizes disruption to source systems
Enables multiple dry runs without impacting production
Guarantees consistent transformations with full audit trails
Future-proof design with extensible target support
Workflows run in dev or production mode, with data masking in dev.
Defined source-to-target workflows are reusable—ideal for system integrators.
