Zero-Downtime ERP Migration for a Mid-Market Manufacturer
Client Overview
A $50M automotive parts manufacturer was running their entire operation on a 15-year-old, highly customized on-premise ERP. The system was unstable, difficult to maintain, and lacked the modern features needed to support their growth. They needed to migrate to ArionERP Cloud to improve efficiency and scalability, but could not afford any disruption to their 24/6 production schedule.
The Problem
The primary challenge was executing a complete migration of over 1TB of complex manufacturing data—including bills of materials, work orders, inventory, and financial history—with a near-zero downtime window. The legacy system's proprietary data structures and lack of documentation made data extraction and mapping a high-risk endeavor.
Key Challenges
- Migrating complex, interdependent data models without breaking relationships.
- Ensuring zero data loss or corruption for compliance and operational continuity.
- Executing the final cutover within a single 8-hour Sunday maintenance window.
- Training users on a new system while ensuring access to historical data.
Our Solution
We implemented a phased, delta-synchronization approach. After an initial bulk load of the data, we used change-data-capture (CDC) tools to keep the new ArionERP database continuously updated with changes from the legacy system in near real-time.
- Developed custom scripts to extract and transform data from the proprietary legacy database.
- Conducted three full pilot migrations to test and refine the process.
- Built automated validation reports to reconcile data between the two systems instantly.
- Executed the final cutover by simply pointing the applications to the new, fully synchronized database.
"ArionERP's team delivered the impossible. A complete ERP migration with virtually no impact on our production floor. Their planning and execution were flawless."
Consolidating CRM Data for a National Retail Chain
Client Overview
A national retail chain with 200+ stores had acquired a smaller competitor. They were now faced with the challenge of merging two disparate CRM systems (Salesforce and a homegrown AS/400 system) into a single, unified Salesforce instance. The goal was to create a 360-degree view of all customers without creating duplicate records or losing valuable historical interaction data.
The Problem
The two systems had completely different data schemas, inconsistent data entry standards, and a high percentage of overlapping customer records. A simple data load would result in a chaotic and unusable CRM. The project required sophisticated data cleansing, de-duplication, and transformation logic to succeed.
Key Challenges
- Merging two customer databases with over 5 million combined records.
- Developing accurate matching logic to identify and merge duplicate contacts and accounts.
- Preserving the complete historical timeline of customer interactions from both systems.
- Enriching data with standardized address and contact information.
Our Solution
We utilized advanced ETL tools and custom Python scripts to create a robust data transformation pipeline. The process involved extracting data from both systems into a staging database where we performed all cleansing and merging operations before loading the final, clean data into the target Salesforce instance.
- Implemented fuzzy matching algorithms to identify non-obvious duplicate records.
- Created a "golden record" for each customer, consolidating information from both sources.
- Standardized all address data against USPS validation services.
- Built a complete audit trail to track the lineage of every piece of merged data.
"The data was a mess, and we were dreading this project. ArionERP brought order to the chaos. Our sales team now has a single source of truth they can actually trust."
Migrating a Petabyte-Scale Data Warehouse to AWS Redshift
Client Overview
A Fortune 500 financial services company was struggling with their on-premise Teradata data warehouse. It was slow, expensive to scale, and couldn't handle the demands of their data science teams. They made the strategic decision to migrate over 1.5 petabytes of historical and transactional data to AWS Redshift to enable faster analytics and machine learning capabilities.
The Problem
The sheer volume of data made a traditional network transfer impossible. The project required a multi-faceted approach to data transfer, schema conversion, and ETL pipeline modernization. Security and regulatory compliance were paramount, requiring a robust and auditable migration process.
Key Challenges
- Physically moving 1.5 PB of data to the cloud efficiently and securely.
- Converting thousands of complex Teradata BTEQ scripts and stored procedures to Redshift-compatible SQL.
- Re-architecting their ETL jobs to work with AWS S3 and other cloud-native services.
- Ensuring the performance of analytical queries met or exceeded the on-premise benchmarks.
Our Solution
We orchestrated a hybrid data transfer strategy using multiple AWS Snowball Edge devices for the initial bulk load, followed by AWS Data Migration Service (DMS) for ongoing replication. We used the AWS Schema Conversion Tool (SCT) to automate much of the code conversion, with our experts manually optimizing the most critical queries.
- Managed the end-to-end logistics and security of the AWS Snowball transfer.
- Rewrote and optimized over 500 business-critical ETL jobs for the AWS ecosystem.
- Implemented a new data architecture in Redshift using distribution keys and sort keys for optimal performance.
- Conducted extensive performance tuning, resulting in a 60% average improvement in query speed.
