ERP Migration · Derby
ERP Migration in Derby
Moving a Derby organisation from one ERP to another. The data is the project — years of transactions, master records and history that must arrive intact and reconcile to the penny, because finance cannot sign off on a system whose opening balances do not match what it replaced.
Why this comes up
The problem
The current ERP is unsupported, too expensive, or no longer fits the business. The migration risk is what has prevented the decision being made.
What you get
What we deliver
- Master data profiled and cleansed, which is where timelines actually go
- Decisions on what history migrates and what is archived rather than moved
- Opening balances reconciled and signed off by finance before cutover
- Trial migrations run repeatedly against full data volumes
- Cutover timed around your reporting calendar, usually a period or year end
- Parallel running or a rollback position, since cutover is otherwise irreversible

Working in Derby
East Midlands
Derby is an engineering city — aerospace, rail and automotive supply chains — so the work here skews toward integration with existing plant systems, quality and compliance workflows, and reporting that has to stand up to audit.
Most work here involves connecting shop-floor and plant systems to reporting the rest of the business can actually read, plus quality and compliance workflows that have to survive an audit.

ERP Migration in Derby — common questions
- How much history should we migrate?
- Less than instinct suggests. Open transactions and balances must come; years of closed history often does not, and migrating it adds cost and risk. Keeping the old system readable for reference is frequently cheaper than moving everything into the new one.
- When should cutover happen?
- At a period or year end, so opening balances are clean and reporting is not split mid-period. Timing it for developer convenience rather than the finance calendar makes reconciliation and the first month-end considerably harder than they need to be.
- What must reconcile before go-live?
- Trial balance, stock valuation, open orders, and aged debtor and creditor positions. Finance signs off on those figures matching, and without that sign-off there is no defensible position if the numbers are later questioned by auditors.
- Can we run both systems together?
- For a period, sometimes, at the cost of double entry and staff strain. It is genuine insurance where the risk warrants it. Where parallel running is impractical, a tested rollback plan is the minimum, because you cannot simply undo a cutover.
- Do you work with businesses across Derbyshire?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout East Midlands, including Derby and the surrounding Derbyshire area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Derby businesses do you usually work with?
- Most work here involves connecting shop-floor and plant systems to reporting the rest of the business can actually read, plus quality and compliance workflows that have to survive an audit. Beyond that we work across Advanced Manufacturing, Aerospace, Rail Engineering, Automotive and Logistics.
- Do you cover the areas around Derby?
- Yes — we work throughout East Midlands, including Nottingham, Leicester, Loughborough, Birmingham. Derby is an urban area of roughly 260,000+, and we take on work across the wider Derbyshire region rather than the city boundary alone.
