From stalled to sprinting: BC data stream rescued

The Challenge

A leading UK decorating retailer was migrating from Microsoft Dynamics AX to D365 Business Central. After months of delays, the project had stalled with an incomplete System Integration Test (SIT) and no clear path forward. The data migration toolchain was broken, and the team was considering a complete restart.

The Solution

elfware stepped in and mapped the entire data migration toolchain within two weeks. Using our Enterprise Low Code platform, we rebuilt the migration stream from raw data extraction through to validated loads in D365 BC.

Key deliverables included:

• Complete data mapping from AX to D365 BC
• Automated validation and reconciliation
• Exception handling and reporting
• UAT-ready data migration pipeline

The Results

The project moved from stalled to sprinting. UAT began on schedule, and the migration was completed successfully. The client estimates that elfware saved them at least six months of programme time and avoided a costly restart.

"We were facing a complete restart. elfware rebuilt the D365 migration stream in two weeks — from raw data to validated loads — and effectively saved six months of programme time."
