Reorganisation Data Migration

From many councils to one clean foundation. Every new unitary authority is built by merging the systems of several old councils — and it all has to work from day one. eAppSys turns that merger into clean, well-organised data that’s ready for AI, powered by DMOne™.

LGR Deadlines — Act Now

The Deadline is Fixed in Law. The Data is the Hard Part.

Because the data work needs to start 12–18 months ahead of go-live, the time to plan is now — well before the deadline turns it into a scramble. Reorganisation is the one moment a council touches all of its data at once.

The Challenge

A New Authority Born From Many — with Three Compounding Risks

When two-tier areas become unitary authorities, one organisation inherits the HR, payroll, finance, and asset data of a county council and several districts — frequently five, ten, fifteen separate legacy bodies, each with its own systems, coding, and decades of accumulated data.

Semantic Foundation™ — The Keystone

Merging Duplicates Done so an Auditor Would Sign It Off

This is the step that creates one trusted record for each person and supplier — the thing everything else depends on. eAppSys does it carefully, with checks at every stage, never as a one-off script.

Beyond Go-Live — The Strategic Value

Why “AI-Ready” Isn’t a Buzzword in Local Government

The LGR data merger is the one moment a council touches and maps everything it holds. Done cleanly, it leaves a foundation that analytics and AI tools can actually use.

Why eAppSys

The Migration and the Foundation, From One Partner

eAppSys brings the platform, the people, and the delivery model to take a new authority from a tangle of old systems to clean, well-run data — ready for day one and beyond.

eAppSys Approach — DMOne™

From Legacy Sprawl to a Single Source of Truth

DMOne™ is eAppSys’s own cloud-native data migration and data-quality platform — source- and target-agnostic by design. It works with whatever systems you have today and whatever you’re moving to.

01

Extract HR, payroll, finance, and asset data from disparate legacy systems across all merging councils — whatever the source

02

Check quality, remove duplicate people and suppliers, ensure everything fits the new system before it moves

03

Hide personal details in test and training copies — essential where records include social care and safeguarding information

04

Move data into the new platform with everything checked and reconciled — a full record an auditor can sign off

You don’t need all your data in the live system. You need the right data in the live system — and the rest governed, accessible, and compliant. ArchiveIQ™ makes that possible without keeping legacy systems alive indefinitely.
Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

The questions we get asked most before a ArchiveIQ™ engagement starts.

What is LGR and why is data the hard part?
Local Government Reorganisation turns groups of county and district councils into single unitary authorities. Each new authority must merge the HR, payroll, finance, and asset data of several old councils — and have it working from day one. As eAppSys states: ‘The deadline is fixed in law; the data is the hard part.’ Surrey’s new authority goes live April 2027; most others April 2028. Data work must start 12–18 months ahead — the time to plan is now.

A new unitary authority inherits data from a county council and several district councils — frequently 5–15 separate legacy bodies. The data types to reconcile: workers and service history; pay and grade structures; suppliers and vendors; chart of accounts; cost centres; positions and job catalogue; properties and assets; and debtors and customers. As eAppSys states: ‘Payroll has to run, suppliers have to be paid, and services have to continue without interruption from the very first day.’

 
DMOne™ is eAppSys’s own cloud-native, source- and target-agnostic data migration platform. It works in four stages: Connect (extract from all legacy systems across merging councils); Cleanse (check quality, remove duplicates, ensure fit for the new system); Mask (protect personal data in test and training copies — essential for social care and safeguarding records); and Transform (move data into the new platform with full reconciliation and audit trail). As eAppSys states: ‘The clean-up you do to migrate becomes the routine that keeps the data clean afterwards.’

ArchiveIQ™ enables a structured approach: archive historical data from EBS before or during migration, integrate the archive with APEX reporting for ongoing access, and go live on Fusion with only the data the new system actually needs. This reduces cloud onboarding effort, lowers Fusion data volumes, and enables proper EBS retirement — rather than keeping the old system alive indefinitely.

Yes — eAppSys is available through the Government’s Digital Marketplace (G-Cloud, Cloud Support lot). As eAppSys states: ‘Easy to buy — available through the Government’s Digital Marketplace (G-Cloud) — simple, compliant procurement for councils.’ eAppSys also offers flexible delivery: onshore, offshore, or blended — delivered the way that fits the council’s budget, timetable, and ways of working.
