Basecamp Migration in Durham
Moving Durham organisations into Basecamp or out of it. Arriving means deliberately giving things up — dependencies, custom fields, elaborate workflow — and teams that migrate expecting to recreate their previous setup spend weeks discovering there is nowhere to put it.
Why this comes up
The problem
A heavier project tool is being abandoned for something simpler, or Basecamp has been outgrown, and years of project history sits in the system being left.
What you get
What we deliver
- What will be lost identified explicitly before the decision is confirmed
- Active projects separated from the archive, since most history need not move
- To-dos and their assignments mapped, dropping structure with no destination
- Documents and files migrated with their organisation preserved
- Message and comment history handled according to whether it is genuinely consulted
- Client access rebuilt where external parties were part of the previous setup

Thirty minutes, no charge, no sales script. You leave with a written summary of what basecamp migration would actually involve — whether or not you use us.
Working in Durham
North East
Durham's economy is dominated by its university and cathedral, so the commercial base is small and much of the local demand comes from spinouts and suppliers attached to the institutions rather than from independent industry.
Research spinout software and visitor systems, usually on institutional procurement timelines rather than commercial ones.

Basecamp Migration in Durham — common questions
- What do we give up moving to Basecamp?
- Dependencies, custom fields, detailed reporting, time tracking and scheduling views. If your current tool has those and they are used, the move removes them. If they exist and nobody looks at them, the move removes overhead — and that distinction is worth establishing honestly.
- Should project history come across?
- Mostly not. Completed projects are consulted rarely, and importing years of them fills a tool whose appeal is simplicity. Exporting the old system for reference and migrating only active work is usually the arrangement people are happiest with a year later.
- What if we are leaving Basecamp?
- The flat structure needs mapping onto whatever comes next. To-do lists become projects, tasks or epics depending on the destination, and there are no dependencies or estimates to carry — so the receiving tool starts with less structure than it expects and needs designing rather than filling.
- How do client-facing projects transfer?
- Access needs rebuilding rather than migrating. External participants exist in the old system's permission model and the new one's, and mapping who should see what is a decision rather than a data transfer — and a good moment to check who still has access at all.
- Do you work with businesses across County Durham?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout North East, including Durham and the surrounding County Durham area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Durham businesses do you usually work with?
- Research spinout software and visitor systems, usually on institutional procurement timelines rather than commercial ones. Beyond that we work across Higher Education, Tourism & Heritage, Public Sector, Retail and Research.
- Do you cover the areas around Durham?
- Yes — we work throughout North East, including Newcastle, Sunderland, York. Durham is an urban area of roughly 70,000+, and we take on work across the wider County Durham region rather than the city boundary alone.
