Your legacy software costs more money every day you delay the migration
Redefine moves businesses off outdated platforms to modern systems with zero production downtime. Your team gets a fixed-price migration plan, a working handover package, and full documentation on day one. No surprises, no scope creep.
The system you keep instead of replacing is billing you now
Five operations staff. Twenty manual workaround hours each, every week. At $65 an hour, that is $338,000 per year in labor your software should handle automatically. That number does not include the errors. It does not include the reporting delays. It does not include the growth initiatives your team never had bandwidth to start.
See your real-time legacy software cost climb as you read this
Adjust the inputs for your team. The counter started the moment this page loaded. Every number you see is the real labor cost your team pays to manage a system that should do this work automatically.
Every second your team runs the legacy system, the meter ticks. Redefine's migration plan eliminates the manual workload behind this number.
Stop This Cost. See My Proposal.This calculator shows labor cost only. It does not count error recovery, delayed reporting, or the revenue your team did not have time to pursue because they managed software instead of the business.
Six phases. Every software migration. Every time.
Redefine does not improvise migration paths. Every engagement follows the same six-phase process, adapted to your platform, your data, and your workflows. Click any phase below to see what gets delivered.
The process is structured by design. It has absorbed the edge cases from dozens of migrations. The guard rails are already built in before your project starts.
Redefine maps your entire current system. Every data model, every integration, every customization, every workflow your team depends on. Nothing is assumed. The audit produces a written inventory your team reviews and approves before migration work begins.
- Complete data model documentation
- Integration inventory with dependency map
- Risk register and migration complexity score
- Written scope with week-by-week delivery plan
Before any data moves, Redefine designs the target state. Which platform. Which data flows. Which integrations stay, which change, and which are replaced. Your team reviews and approves the architecture before any build work begins.
- Platform selection with rationale
- Data model for the target system
- Workflow redesign map
Data moves with schema transformation, deduplication, and validation. Every table transfer is logged and reconciled. Redefine does not mark a transfer complete until record counts and integrity checks match. No silent data loss.
- ETL pipelines with reconciliation logs
- Integrity validation per table
- Deduplication and data cleanse
Your new system runs on staging with a copy of production data while your team runs the legacy system. Redefine runs automated regression tests, edge-case validation, and user acceptance testing. Nothing goes live until your team signs off.
- Regression test suite per workflow
- User acceptance testing with your team
- Performance benchmark against the current system
The cutover plan is written and rehearsed before it happens. Redefine keeps the legacy system live until the new system has proven stable. If something fails, rollback is a documented, tested procedure. Not a panic response.
- Written cutover runbook
- Rollback plan tested in staging
- 72-hour parallel run before legacy decommission
The project does not end at go-live. Your handover package includes user training, admin documentation, and a 30-day support window. Your team runs the new system independently, without needing to call us.
- User and admin training sessions
- Architecture and data flow documentation
- 30-day post-launch support window
Redefine cut manual workload 50% for a chemical manufacturer
Every department ran on manual data entry. Inventory was invisible in real time. Delivery timelines slipped because planning data lived in spreadsheets. Compliance tracking required a separate paper process. The system served a smaller business, not the one Transpek had grown into.
- Manual data entry across all departments
- No real-time inventory or production visibility
- Delivery delays caused by planning data gaps
- Compliance tracking done manually outside the system
- Real-time inventory visibility and demand forecasting
- Financial reporting automated across all workflows
- Compliance and traceability requirements fully met
- Production capacity increased without adding headcount
You receive a line-by-line cost breakdown before any sprint starts. You do not need to commit anything to receive the proposal.
- Volume of data and number of tables to migrate
- Number of custom integrations to rebuild or replace
- Compliance and traceability requirements
Every proposal includes the cost-of-inaction figure from the calculator above. You see the annual labor cost your migration eliminates before you decide. The payback period is in the proposal, not discovered afterward.

Redefine audits everything before a single line of code runs
Most migration failures happen because the team did not know what lived in the legacy system. Redefine audits every data model, integration, and customization before work begins. You approve the scope in writing. Scope surprises mid-project drop to near zero.
Zero-downtime cutover, written and rehearsed before go-live
The cutover plan is written in advance and rehearsed on staging. Your legacy system stays live until the new system proves stable in parallel. Rollback is a documented, tested procedure your team runs independently. Not a crisis response improvised under pressure.
Redefine validates every record before declaring the transfer complete
Redefine does not count data as transferred until record counts and integrity checks match. Every table transfer produces a reconciliation log your team can audit independently. Silent data loss, the most common failure in legacy migrations, is designed out. Not hoped away.
Your fixed-price proposal in 3 days, not after a 6-week paid discovery
Most migration partners run paid, multi-week discovery engagements before they quote a price. Redefine returns a full migration proposal in three business days. It includes the audit findings, migration phases, delivery timeline, and fixed price. You decide with full information before committing.
Questions buyers ask before hiring a software migration company
Timeline depends on the complexity of your current system. A focused ERP upgrade with a well-documented legacy system typically takes 8 to 12 weeks. A full platform migration with data transformation, third-party integrations, and compliance requirements runs 14 to 20 weeks. Redefine provides a week-by-week delivery plan in your proposal before you commit to anything.
Yes. Redefine builds the new system in parallel while your team runs the legacy environment. The legacy system stays live until the new system is validated on a staging copy of your production data. Cutover is a planned, rehearsed event. Not a forced shutdown. Your operations run without interruption throughout the migration.
Rollback is a written, tested procedure that exists before any cutover begins. If a critical issue appears during the stability window, your team follows the rollback runbook to switch back to the legacy system. The legacy system remains live for a defined period after cutover specifically for this reason. Rollback is a designed option. Not an emergency improvisation.
Redefine has delivered migrations from legacy ERP systems, including NAV 2009, NAV 2013, and custom PHP platforms, to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2016 and above, headless ecommerce architectures, and custom platforms on Node.js and Laravel. If your system is not listed here, submit a brief and Redefine will confirm directly whether your migration is in scope.
Every data transfer runs on a staging copy. Your production database is never touched directly. Each table transfer produces a reconciliation log with record counts and integrity checks before the transfer is marked complete. A full backup of your production database is taken immediately before any change begins. That backup is kept for the full duration of the migration.
