Speaking about data migration, what does it exactly mean?
In Odoo ERP, Data Migration is nothing but migrating the existing database from one or more legacy systems to another. In Odoo ERP, depending on the scale and complexity of the implementation, data migration ranges from small amounts of data to large volumes of data.

Types of Odoo Migration
When it comes to Odoo Migration, there are two types, namely;
- Transaction Driven Approach
- Table Driven Approach
Transaction Driven Approach
Transaction Driven Approach is the most commonly opted solution since it is highly cost-efficient. In this method of Odoo migration, the data is extracted from the legacy system and later, it is converted into a load file which is processed with load programs provided by the ERP system. The reason behind this cost-efficient solution is that the scope of data migration is limited to active data.
In order to opt with this method of data migration, the customer should maintain the legacy system in read only mode after go-live in order to comply with local legislation on data retention timelines.
Table Driven Approach
Table Driven Approach is the less commonly opted solution since it is significantly high in data migration cost. In this method of Odoo migration, all the tables that construct the legacy system are migrated and mapped one-to-one to the newly constructed tables of the new ERP system. The reason behind the high cost of data migration is due to the restriction of data migration within the same ERP vendors.
How does Odoo ERP Migration take place?
Analysis Stage
In order to migrate an Odoo database, the initial step is to identify the data format, location, and sensitivity of the ols database that has to be migrated. Future, the architectural analysis of the two different ERP systems should be aligned in the analysis stage.

Development Stage
In this stage, the size and scope of the project will be depicted. The size of the historical data to be migrated will be decided and the scope of the database i.e., which data to be migrated – Master data and Transactional (Open/Closed) will be processed.
Assess staff and migration tool
In this stage of Odoo upgrade services, the old database will be processed for migration using a data migration tool such as Pentaho DI. The data will be extracted from the legacy system to a staging environment. Further, the extracted data will be converted and enriched to the structure required to load into the new ERP system. As the end result, the enriched data will be reconciled based on completeness and accuracy of the database.
Thus as the end result, the Odoo upgrade services will be successfully rendered through which the Odoo Version Migration and Code Migration to the new system is processed successfully.
