Integrations & Migration

We connect your new software to the systems you already use — and move your data safely.

Custom project phase

Engagement

Analysis → fixed integration or migration phase

Time frame

Depends on system access, data quality, and risk

01The situation

The situation

  • The new website or software needs to talk to your ERP, CRM, or DATEV.
  • Your data lives in a legacy system nobody wants to touch.
  • A botched migration would hit live operations.
  • Nobody feels responsible for the big picture.
02Our solution

Our solution

We build the connectors (ERP, CRM, DATEV, payments, email, calendar), write migration scripts, validate the data, and plan the switch with cutover and rollback plans. Usually as part of a larger project, standalone on request.

03What's included

What's included

Analysis of existing systems and interfaces
Connector development
Migration scripts with data validation
Cutover plan including rollback scenario
Tests against real data in a protected environment
Interface documentation
04How it works

How it works

01

Analysis

Capture systems, data quality, and risks.

02

Build & test

Develop connectors and migration, test against copies.

03

Switch

Planned cutover with rollback option — without downtime.

05Why cognatio labs

Why cognatio labs

Integration and migration are where projects fail. We treat them as their own discipline with a plan B — not as a footnote.

06Engagement

Proposal

Proposal after system assessment

We clarify scope, risks, and interfaces in the intro call, then quote cleanly. Often priced as part of a project phase.

07Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions

Will we lose data during migration?

We never migrate without validation and a rollback plan. We only switch after test runs against copies complete cleanly.

Our legacy system has no API — is it still possible?

Usually yes: via database exports, file interfaces, or structured extraction as a last resort. We clarify this in the analysis.

Do you work with our tax advisor / DATEV?

Yes. We coordinate DATEV connections directly with your accounting firm so bookkeeping continues without a break.

Want your systems to talk to each other?

We map out your landscape in an intro call.
