Dynamics 365 Data Migration Services for Implementation Projects
Data Migration During Dynamics 365 Implementation
Data migration is a critical workstream within a Dynamics 365 implementation. LGSTech helps organizations and Dynamics 365 implementation partners assess, cleanse, transform, test, validate, and migrate business-critical data from legacy ERP systems into Dynamics 365.
Legacy ERP environments may contain:
- Complex relational data models
- Years of historical transactions
- Custom tables, fields, and extensions
- Inconsistent master data
- Financial and regulatory data requirements
Migration Expertise You Can Build Into Your Dynamics 365 Program
LGSTech specializes in ERP data migration across Dynamics and industry-specific platforms, supporting complex modernization programs involving large datasets, historical data, customizations, and multiple legal entities.
Our Data Migration Implementation Framework
LGSTech follows a proven multi-phase migration execution model designed to support complex ERP modernization initiatives.
Source Data Assessment
Assess legacy data structures, volumes, customizations, dependencies, and data quality to define migration scope and identify risks early.
Data Cleansing
Identify duplicates, obsolete records, missing values, and inconsistencies. Standardize and validate source data before transformation.
Mapping and Transformation
Map legacy fields and entities to the Dynamics 365 data model. Apply transformation rules, business logic, and required format changes.
Migration Testing
Run repeatable migration cycles to validate extraction, transformation, loading, data integrity, record counts, and financial reconciliation.
UAT Data Validation
Provide representative migrated data for business-user validation. Verify critical processes, historical records, financial data, and exceptions before production.
Production Migration & Go-Live Support
Execute the final migration using an approved cutover plan, followed by production verification, reconciliation, issue resolution, and hypercare support.
Accelerating Dynamics 365 Migration with Automation
LGSTech uses migration automation to reduce repetitive effort and accelerate extraction, transformation, testing, and validation across migration cycles.
LGS's tried and tested methodologies and accelerators enable organizations to:
- Connect to legacy ERP environments through prebuilt connectors
- Automate extraction and transformation workflows
- Manage migration cycles through guided configuration
- Monitor migration progress through structured dashboards
Automation reduces repetitive manual effort, improves consistency, and can accelerate migration timelines by up to 50%.
Dynamics 365 Migration Scenarios We Support
LGSTech supports data migration implementation across a wide range of ERP platforms, including:
Microsoft ERP Platforms
- Microsoft Dynamics AX → Microsoft Dynamics 365
- NAXT → NAXT 365
- Annata → Annata 365
Industry ERP Platforms

- Custom legacy ERP → Dynamics 365
Our migration frameworks support complex enterprise environments with large historical datasets and specialized industry workflows.
What Data Should Be Migrated to Dynamics 365?
Not every legacy record needs to be migrated. Migration scope should consider business value, regulatory requirements, reporting needs, data dependencies, and the capabilities of the target Dynamics 365 environment.
| Data category | Typical approach |
|---|---|
| Active master data | Migrate |
| Open transactions | Migrate |
| Required historical transactions | Selective migration |
| Duplicate or obsolete records | Cleanse before migration |
| Compliance-only historical data | Consider archival |
| Unused legacy data | Assess before migrating |
Benefits of a Structured Dynamics 365 Data Migration
