Data conversion is where most Workday programmes lose time. Dandee Consulting runs conversion as a controlled workstream — extraction from your legacy HR, payroll and finance systems, cleansing, iLoad construction, repeatable mock loads and signed-off reconciliation before every tenant build.

What's included

What Our Data Conversion Consultants Deliver

A named conversion lead owns the load calendar from discovery through to production cutover, working alongside your HR, payroll and finance data owners.

  • Source-to-target mapping across worker, organisation, compensation, job and position data
  • iLoad and EIB template build, versioned and re-runnable for every mock cycle
  • Worker history conversion — hires, job changes, compensation and leave balances at the depth your reporting actually needs
  • Payroll balance conversion with year-to-date reconciliation to your legacy payroll
  • Financial data conversion — chart of accounts, opening balances, open AR/AP, assets and supplier records
  • Data cleansing rules, exception reports and a defect log your team can work through
  • Mock load cycles with reconciliation packs and sign-off at each gate

What Our Data Conversion Consultants Deliver

Engagement Models And Indicative Pricing

  • Conversion readiness assessment — two to three weeks, fixed fee. Data quality profile, mapping gaps and a realistic load calendar.
  • Full conversion workstream — embedded in your implementation, typically three to four mock cycles across 10 to 20 weeks.
  • Rescue engagement — for programmes where mock loads keep failing reconciliation and cutover has slipped.
  • Day rate — senior conversion consultants from GBP 750 per day; blended rates on longer programmes.

Cost is driven by worker count, how many legacy systems feed the load, and how much history you convert. We quote a fixed scope after reviewing a sample extract.
