BigQuery Migration in Newport
Migrating Newport organisations onto BigQuery, where the assumption that costs most is that standard SQL simply ports. Dialects differ in date handling, type coercion, window behaviour and a hundred smaller details — and the queries that fail outright are less trouble than the ones that run and return a slightly different answer.
Why this comes up
The problem
The queries were translated, they all execute, and one report's totals differ from the old system by two per cent.
What you get
What we deliver
- Dialect differences catalogued against the constructs your queries actually use
- Results compared row by row rather than checked for successful execution
- Data model revisited, since a columnar store rewards different structures
- Nested and repeated fields used where they suit the data better than joins
- Partitioning and clustering designed during migration rather than retrofitted
- Parallel running until reconciliation across a full reporting cycle is clean

BigQuery Migration in Newport — common questions
- Which SQL differences cause the most trouble?
- Date and timestamp handling, implicit type conversion and null behaviour in aggregates. These rarely produce errors — they produce results that are quietly different, which is why comparing output matters more than confirming that everything ran.
- Should the data model change?
- Frequently, yes. Structures designed for a row-based system with expensive joins may be better expressed with nested fields here, and carrying the old model across means the platform's strengths go unused while its cost model applies regardless.
- How thoroughly should results be compared?
- To the row where volume permits, and to aggregate totals with distribution checks where it does not. A summary comparison passes when a small subset differs, and a small subset differing is exactly the failure that surfaces months later in a board pack.
- How long should both systems run?
- Through at least one complete reporting cycle with reconciliation at each stage. That period is what converts confidence from an assertion into evidence, and it gives the teams who depend on the numbers time to raise discrepancies while there is still something to compare against.
- Do you work with businesses across Newport?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout Wales, including Newport and the surrounding Newport area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Newport businesses do you usually work with?
- Precision manufacturing quality systems, and cross-border operations for businesses trading into England. Beyond that we work across Semiconductors, Manufacturing, Logistics, Public Sector and Financial Services.
- Do you cover the areas around Newport?
- Yes — we work throughout Wales, including Cardiff, Bristol, Swansea. Newport is an urban area of roughly 160,000+, and we take on work across the wider Newport region rather than the city boundary alone.
