Client Profile

Baton, a leader in B2B referrals, relies on their platform to manage increasing traffic and business operations. As their platform built on Knack reached its limits, Baton decided to rebuild their application to ensure reliability and scalability.

Project Scope

To address Baton’s data migration challenges, we developed a comprehensive plan to map their existing database to a new schema. This involved close collaboration, detailed planning, and seamless implementation to ensure data integrity and minimize operational disruption. The project involved:

• Collaborating Closely: Understanding Baton’s existing data structure and new schema requirements.
• Developing a Migration Plan: Ensuring data integrity and minimizing disruption to Baton’s operations.
• Implementing Data Migration: Active syncing in one direction while Baton prepared to test and launch their new application.
• Providing Ongoing Support: Addressing questions, incorporating changes, and making necessary updates to accommodate Baton’s evolving needs.

Our expertise and collaborative approach were instrumental in ensuring a smooth transition for Baton, allowing them to focus on running their business while the data migration was underway.
