Years of enterprise data expertise

Ransomware attack

Parent-child relationships (Accounts → Contacts → Cases) fragment during migration without relational integrity handling.

No rollback path

If migration fails partway, there's no clean path back. Source system may already have changed, leaving you with two broken datasets.

API timeouts

Large data volumes cause API timeouts mid-migration, leaving the destination in a partial state with no automatic recovery.

Schema mismatch

Manual schema mapping between source and destination causes field mismatches that corrupt data silently.

Missed fields

Formula fields and computed values are skipped by standard migration tools — missing critical calculated data in the destination.

MIGRATION RISK

Most data migration projects fail - or take far longer than planned.

Research consistently shows that data migration projects run over budget, over timeline, and often result in data quality issues that take months to resolve. The root cause is almost always the same - manual schema mapping, fragmented tooling, and no automated validation.

Sesame Software's patented automation handles schema discovery, relational integrity, API timeout recovery, and formula field capture - eliminating each of these failure modes before they happen.

WHAT IS DATA MIGRATION?

Moving data is easy. Moving it correctly is hard.

Data migration is the process of moving data from one system, platform, or format to another - from a legacy database to a modern cloud warehouse, from one CRM to another, or from an on-premise ERP to a cloud-hosted equivalent. Done correctly, it's a clean cutover that leaves the destination fully populated, relationally intact, and immediately operational.

Done incorrectly, it costs months of remediation, corrupts downstream analytics, and breaks applications that depend on the migrated data. The difference between a successful migration and a failed one almost always comes down to tooling - specifically whether the tooling handles schema creation, relational hierarchy, and edge cases automatically.

Sesame Software's migration capability is built on the same patented replication engine used by Procter & Gamble, Bank of America, and the U.S. Government - handling schema discovery, relational integrity, and validation automatically, with no custom code required.

WHY SESAME SOFTWARE

Three things that set us apart.

Most migration tools make the same promises. Here's why Sesame Software is measurably and verifiably different.

HOW IT WORKS

Four steps. Under an hour.

No custom code, no manual schema mapping, no developer required. Sesame Software's patented automation handles each step - from source discovery through validated delivery.

Elite Data Provisioning 2.png

01

DISCOVER

Automated schema discovery

Connect to your source system. Sesame Software automatically reads the source schema, maps all tables, fields, and data types, and discovers parent-child relationships.

  • Metadata-driven - no manual mapping

  • Relational hierarchies auto-detected

  • Formula fields captured (Salesforce patented)

  • JDBC or REST API connection

02

CONFIGURE

No-code connection setup

Select your destination, set your migration scope, and configure any scheduling or filtering. No coding required - the platform generates the connection templates automatically.

  • Point-and-click destination selection

  • Scope by object, date range, or record type

  • Sandbox testing before production migration

  • PII masking for test environments

03

MIGRATE

Patented automated migration

The engine runs the migration - auto-creating destination schema, preserving relational hierarchies, handling API limits with dynamic time-slicing, and recovering automatically from any connection interruption.

  • Auto-creates destination schema and tables

  • Dynamic time-slicing prevents API timeouts

  • Parent records inserted first, child sequentially

  • Auto-restart on connection failure

04

VALIDATE

Audit-ready validation

Job-run diagnostics are written automatically to RJ_HISTORY and RJ_ERROR metadata tables - recording every record read, inserted, updated, deleted, and skipped. Ingest directly into Splunk or any SIEM.

  • RJ_HISTORY and RJ_ERROR audit tables

  • Record counts - read, inserted, skipped

  • SIEM / Splunk ingestion ready

  • Ongoing sync available post-migration

PATENTED CAPABILITY

Automated schema handling - no manual mapping, ever

The single most time-consuming part of any data migration is manually mapping the source schema to the destination. Sesame Software eliminates this entirely. The engine reads the source metadata, auto-creates corresponding tables and columns at the destination, and automatically adapts as the source schema changes over time.

Automated schema discovery

source tables, columns, and data types read automatically on connection

Auto-created destination schema

tables and columns generated at destination without any developer intervention

Continuous schema adaptation

when source fields are added or modified, the destination automatically updates on the next extraction cycle. Column widths increase automatically to prevent data rejection

Relational integrity preserved

parent-child hierarchies (Accounts → Contacts → Cases) migrated in the correct insertion order, with no fragmentation or manual reconstruction

NOT SURE WHICH PRODUCT YOU NEED?

Migration, ETL, or replication - here's the difference

No custom code, no manual schema mapping, no developer required. Sesame Software's patented automation handles each step - from source discovery through validated delivery.

Data Migration

A one-time or phased move of data from one system to another - typically from legacy to modern, or from one platform to another. Schema is auto-created at destination. Job completes and can remain connected for ongoing sync.

​CHOOSE MIGRATION WHEN​

  • Moving from a legacy system to a new platform

  • Consolidating multiple databases into one

  • Changing CRM or ERP and need historical data moved

Data Replication

Continuous, ongoing synchronization of data from source to destination - keeping a live copy of your data updated in near real-time. CDC captures only changed records. Runs indefinitely on a schedule.

CHOOSE REPLICATION WHEN

  • BI and analytics need continuously fresh data

  • Disaster recovery requires a live independent copy

  • Data residency requires on-prem copy of cloud data

ETL / Data Pipeline

Extract, Transform, Load - moves data while applying business logic, data cleansing, and transformations using SQL Query Wizards. Best for analytics workloads requiring data normalization or enrichment.

​CHOOSE ETL WHEN

  • Data needs cleansing or normalization in transit

  • Multiple sources must be combined with business rules

  • Reverse ETL needed to push warehouse data back to ops tools

From decommissioning AS400 mainframes to migrating years of Salesforce history - Sesame Software handles the full range of enterprise migration scenarios with the same patented automation.

MIGRATION USE CASES

Built for every enterprise migration scenario

Legacy modernization

Legacy System Migrations

Migrate from AS400, IBM DB2, Sybase, and Oracle legacy systems to modern cloud platforms - sources most cloud-native migration tools simply cannot connect to. BYOD extends this to any JDBC-compatible legacy endpoint.

Used by IT teams decommissioning infrastructure that hasn't been touched in years - with the confidence that every record arrives intact.

Salesforce migration

Salesforce Data Migration

Migrate complete Salesforce org data including formula fields - captured by Sesame Software's patented -getFormula command, which standard migration tools miss entirely. Recursive restore maps parent-child structures (Accounts → Contacts → Cases) in correct insertion order. Sandbox seeding available for pre-migration testing.

The only migration tool with a patent specifically for Salesforce formula field capture - a field type competitors miss by design.

Database-to-database

Database Platform Migrations

Migrate between database platforms - Oracle to PostgreSQL, SQL Server to Azure SQL, MySQL to Amazon RDS. Automated schema translation handles data type mapping between platforms. Continuous schema adaptation handles any changes discovered mid-migration.

Handles cross-platform data type translation automatically - no manual field-by-field mapping required.

NetSuite migration

NetSuite Data Migration

Migrate NetSuite data via both SuiteTalk (SOAP) API and SuiteAnalytics Connect JDBC driver. Saved Searches are automatically converted to standard queryable database tables using the -getSchema SavedSearches command - normalizing data types and appending a TOTALRECORDS column for BI tool compatibility.

NetSuite Saved Searches become queryable relational tables - immediately usable by Tableau, Power BI, and other BI tools post-migration.

FAQ

Every migration question answered directly

AEO-optimized: each answer is written to be directly extractable by AI search overviews and featured snippets.

What is data migration?

Data migration is the process of moving data from one system, platform, or format to another. This includes legacy database to cloud warehouse migrations, CRM platform changes, ERP modernization, and database consolidation projects. A successful migration leaves the destination fully populated, relationally intact, and immediately operational without requiring custom code.

How long does data migration take with Sesame Software?

Full implementation - connecting source and destination, running automated schema discovery, and executing the first migration job - takes under an hour for most customers. This is independently validated by G2's Fastest Implementation badge in the Mid-Market segment.

Does Sesame Software require coding for migration?

No. Standard migration requires zero developer intervention or custom coding. Connection setup is handled via metadata-driven templates. Schema discovery, table creation, and relational hierarchy mapping are all automated. No manual field mapping is required.

What is the difference between migration, replication, and ETL?

Migration is a one-time or phased move from source to destination - schema is auto-created and data is transferred. Replication is continuous, ongoing synchronization keeping a live copy updated in near real-time. ETL extracts, transforms using SQL, and loads - used when business logic or data cleansing must be applied in transit. All three are capabilities of the Sesame Data Platform.

Can Sesame Software migrate from legacy systems like AS400 and IBM DB2?

Yes - Sesame Software natively supports AS400, IBM DB2, Sybase, and Oracle legacy systems that most cloud-native migration tools cannot connect to. BYOD (Bring Your Own Driver) extends this further: any system with a JDBC driver can be used as a migration source via a standard driver template.

How does Sesame Software handle Salesforce formula fields?

This is a patented capability. Formula field modifications in Salesforce do not update the SystemModstamp, which means standard incremental migration tools miss them entirely. Sesame Software solves this with a dedicated patented -getFormula command that queries and updates formula fields independently - capturing data that competitors skip by design.

What happens if a migration job fails partway through?

Sesame Software includes automatic restart on connection failure. Dynamic time-slicing also prevents API timeouts proactively - if a query window contains too many records, the engine shortens the window automatically (down to 2 seconds) to ensure the load completes. Job-run diagnostics are written to RJ_HISTORY and RJ_ERROR tables for full visibility.

Where is my data during migration?

Your data moves directly from your source system to your destination database - entirely within your own infrastructure. The migration engine runs on your servers or in your private cloud account. Sesame Software has zero access to your data at any point during or after migration.

Can I test migration in a sandbox before going live?

Yes - on the Enterprise tier, Sesame Software supports sandbox seeding. You can populate a test environment directly from production migration history, with PII anonymization and masking rules applied in-flight on your customer-hosted server before data is written to the sandbox.

How does pricing work?

Pricing starts at $500/month, licensed as a flat fee based on active connected datasources - not on rows migrated or data volume. You can scale from one million to one hundred million records without any change in your bill. Storage is unlimited and owned entirely by you in your own database.
