Precision Data Conversion Services for Complex, High-Stakes Environments

When data is successfully restored but not yet usable, Total Data Migration (TDM) provides specialized data conversion services to help businesses across the globe transform inaccessible formats into actionable information. Whether you’re responding to litigation, producing records for opposing counsel, or migrating recovered data to modern systems, we convert legacy data with expert precision. Our process ensures compliance, preserves compatibility, and enhances clarity, no matter how complex or outdated the source material may be.

  • File Format Conversion with Purpose

    TDM delivers enterprise-grade file format conversion for businesses handling critical, high-volume data.

  • Technically Fluent, Legally Aware

    Our data conversion services are built with both IT infrastructure and the legal process in mind. We understand chain-of-custody requirements and regulatory expectations. Our approach reduces manual intervention, simplifies review workflows, and eliminates technical barriers to using restored data effectively.

Modernize Formats & Consolidate Data

Total Data Migration converts proprietary files and legacy databases into modern, usable formats and brings scattered datasets together into a single, trusted view. From advanced file/database conversion to reconciliation and cross-system merging, you’ll get validated outputs with clear lineage that work in today’s platforms and support accurate reporting.

Convert Proprietary Files & Databases to Modern Formats

Total Data Migration provides advanced file and database conversion for proprietary or unsupported formats. With schema mapping, field-level validation, and sample-open QA, your data keeps its structure and meaning and lands ready for today’s platforms without manual rework.

  • Legacy CAD, EHR, DICOM, and accounting conversions: Map schemas and metadata, preserve annotations and units, and export to vendor-neutral, modern formats with validation reports.
  • Binary to readable flat-file conversions (COBOL, RPG, WinWam): Parse fixed/binary layouts into CSV/JSON/Parquet, preserve primary keys and codes, and deliver a data dictionary for downstream teams.
  • Custom tool development for unsupported file types: Build parsers and validators tailored to your format, automate batch conversion at scale, and document the workflow for repeatable runs.

You get clean, searchable data that’s ready for operations, analytics, and retention.

Reconcile & Merge Data Into One Source of Truth

After recovery or modernization, data often lives in too many places. Total Data Migration handles data reconciliation and cross-system merging that deduplicates records, matches fields, and validates relationships to deliver a single, trusted dataset with documented lineage.

  • Deduplication, field matching, and relationship validation: Use deterministic and probabilistic matching, apply survivorship rules, and check referential integrity before finalizing merges.
  • Merging datasets from multiple sources (Active Directory, legacy CRM, cloud): Normalize attributes, resolve conflicting IDs, and retain provenance so every record’s lineage is clear.
  • Master data management (MDM) assessments: Evaluate current models and governance, recommend an MDM approach and tooling, and outline a phased rollout plan.

You end with one source of truth that aligns systems, reduces noise, and supports accurate reporting.
