Challenge
Beumer faced an urgent need to extract, convert, and validate seven years of historical HR data—including complex records such as job histories, performance reviews, and payroll check data—from their expiring ADP system. Ensuring data integrity and compliance, while coordinating with multiple vendors, required deep technical expertise and a robust migration strategy to avoid business disruption and maintain access to essential workforce history.
