Your new ERP is only as reliable as the data you put into it. We clean, map, validate and load your records so your first reports on the new system are ones you can trust.
ERP data migration in the UAE works best as its own workstream that starts early: assess the source data, clean and de-duplicate it, map fields to the new system, run trial loads and reconcile opening balances before go-live. Common sources include Excel, Tally, QuickBooks, Sage and Zoho Books, and the cut-over is usually timed to a month, quarter or financial-year start.
Data migration is often treated as a quick export and import near the end of a project. Then the trial balance does not match, half the customer records are duplicates, item codes have three different spellings, and go-live slips by weeks.
We treat ERP migration as its own workstream that starts early. Whether you are moving from Excel sheets, Tally, QuickBooks, Sage, Zoho Books or an older ERP, we work out what needs to move, what should be left behind and how the data must be reshaped to fit the new system.
Finance gets particular attention. Opening balances, open invoices, VAT positions and stock values must reconcile to your old system on the cut-over date, and we do not consider migration complete until they do.
Every step needed to move data safely from old to new.
Exports from Tally, QuickBooks, spreadsheets, legacy ERPs and databases, including data that is not available through standard reports.
Removing duplicates, fixing inconsistent names and codes, filling missing fields and archiving inactive customers, suppliers and items.
Mapping old accounts, item groups, tax codes and units of measure to the new structure, agreed with your finance and operations teams.
Trial balance, open receivables and payables, bank balances, stock quantities and values loaded as at the cut-over date.
Record counts, totals and sample checks compared between systems, with sign-off from your finance lead.
Where risk is high, running old and new systems side by side for a defined period to compare results before switching fully.
A repeatable process with checks at each stage.
We review source systems, data volumes and quality, and agree what history to migrate, such as open items only or several years of transactions.
Your team and ours clean master data and map it to the new chart of accounts, item structure and tax codes.
We load data into a test environment, run reports and fix mapping issues. Larger projects often need two or three trial loads.
At cut-over we freeze the old system, load final balances and reconcile every key figure before users start transacting.
Depending on risk, we either run both systems briefly in parallel or proceed straight to formal sign-off and archive the old data.
The exact scope is agreed during assessment, but most projects include these.
Useful next steps if you are planning a move.
We configure the system for the rules UAE businesses report against, and test it before go-live.
General information, not tax or legal advice. Confirm current requirements with the FTA, MOHRE or your advisor. See all UAE compliance guides.
On-site workshops in Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Sharjah, and remote or on-site delivery across the Northern Emirates and free zones.
Official sources and references
Facts on this page were checked against these sources in October 2026. Rules change, so confirm current requirements before acting.
Yes. Tally is one of the most common sources we see in the UAE. We extract masters and balances, map Tally ledgers and stock groups to the new structure, and reconcile the results before go-live.
Many companies migrate opening balances and open transactions only, and keep the old system or an archive for history. Others bring one or two years of transactions for comparative reporting. The right choice depends on your reporting needs, data quality and budget.
A parallel run means entering transactions in both the old and new systems for a short period and comparing outputs. It adds effort, so we recommend it mainly where the risk of error is high, such as complex inventory or payroll.
It is shared. We provide templates, scripts and reports that highlight problems, but your team knows which customers are active or which item codes are correct. Clear decisions from your side speed things up considerably.
Usually at the start of a month, quarter or financial year, so opening balances are clean and VAT periods are not split across systems. We plan the cut-over date with your finance team early in the project.
