When the migration is the emergency
Half the organisation is on the new platform. Half is on the old one. The vendor has stopped answering, or the in-house attempt has stalled, and someone senior has just noticed that history is missing. The shape varies: a Server move that froze mid-collection, a consolidation stuck halfway through a deal, a GitHub migration that moved the repos and lost everything else, a cloud exit that will not reconcile. Every week it runs, the two halves drift further apart and the gap gets more expensive to close.
You don’t need a pitch right now. You need to know three things: what state it is actually in, what can be saved, and the shortest safe path to done.
What changes for you: the bleeding stops, you get a truthful picture instead of reassurances, and the migration gets finished by people who have finished broken ones before.
How it works:
- State assessment first. What actually moved, what was corrupted or dropped, and whether the target is salvageable or needs a reset. Fixed price, agreed before we start.
- Root cause. Why the previous attempt failed, so the rescue does not repeat it.
- Recovery plan. Repair in place, re-run with correct configuration, or start clean with lessons applied. Whichever is genuinely shortest and safest, with evidence for the choice.
- Honest triage. If something is unrecoverable, you hear it from us first, with options. Bad news early is cheaper than bad news late.
This is not for you if the migration has not started yet. If you are worried it will go wrong, that is exactly what an assessment prevents, and it costs a fraction of a rescue.
If the engagement fails to meet the agreed standard, we refund your fee.
