Data Migration
Data Migration Services for Higher Education
Our team partners with your IT organization to plan, validate, and execute migrations through modern data pipelines to new enterprise systems—SIS, CRM, LMS, ERP/Finance, HR, Data Warehouse/Lakehouse, analytics platforms, and more.
What’s Included in Lingk Data Migration Services
Migration Discovery & Planning
We align stakeholders, define scope, establish success criteria, and identify dependencies—downstream reports, integrations, data consumers, and critical operational workflows.
Data Mapping & Transformation Design
We design mappings to the target system's objects/fields and define transformation logic, including normalization, standardization, and business-rule enforcement.
Data Quality & Validation Framework
We implement validation checks and reconciliation processes so teams can verify completeness, accuracy, and integrity before go-live.
Migration Execution at Scale
We build and run pipelines that extract, transform, and load data reliably—using scalable processing where volume demands it—while producing repeatable runs for testing cycles.
Cutover Planning & Go-Live Support
We coordinate sequencing, runbooks, backout considerations, and launch readiness—minimizing downtime and disruption.
Archival Strategy & Execution (as needed)
We help define, build, and populate archival datasets so legacy history is retained with structure and accessibility.
Lingk Platform — Big Data Processing Engine (optional)
Lingk's platform includes a data processing engine built on Apache Spark, enabling high-throughput data pipelines that can process very large datasets efficiently. This matters when institutions need to migrate complex histories, high-transaction domains, or multi-system datasets without performance bottlenecks.
Data Archival
Most institutions have decades of data stored in legacy systems. In practice, many migrations move only the most recent years of operationally necessary records, while older history is preserved through data archival.
Lingk supports archival as part of migration services, including:
Data classification
Determining what data is required in the new system vs. retained for reference and compliance.
Usable archive design
Designing an archive model that stakeholders can actually use—with search, retrieval, and reporting.
Context preservation
Preserving definitions, context, and metadata so archived history remains meaningful over time.
Auditable retention
Creating an auditable retention approach aligned to institutional policy needs.
Enterprise System Migrations
Lingk supports migrations across any system higher ed teams depend on, including Student Information Systems (SIS), CRM, LMS, ERP/Finance, HR/Payroll, data warehouses/lakes, and institutional reporting environments.
Streamline Your Data Migrations with Higher Ed Data Experts
Lingk has helped higher education institutions for 10+ years to execute large-scale data migrations with expert delivery, scalable processing, and a practical archival strategy that keeps legacy history accessible without derailing go-live.
