About VGT Data Consultancy
Discover the mission and expertise behind VGT Data Consultancy, your trusted partner for AI-focused data transfer migrations for local government. We specialise in transitioning data from client server legacy systems to the cloud, ensuring a seamless and efficient process.
Our journey and mission
With over 30 years of experience in software development and data transfer, VGT Data Consultancy was founded to tackle a significant problem: the inefficiency of traditional data migration specification. Field mapping, often documented in hundreds of pages or unwieldy spreadsheets, is prone to misinterpretation by both clients and data engineers.
This manual approach leads to a lack of automation in specification to extraction code, with software companies often prioritising product sales over robust engineering. The reliance on outdated tools, some over 30 years old, represents a major 'loss aversion', hindering ROI on improvements without radical change. We aim to revolutionise this process with AI-focused solutions, ensuring clarity and automation.
What makes us different
VGT Data Consultancy stands out by leveraging unparalleled insight gained from building and managing change for internal tools. Unlike many providers focused solely on software vendors' needs, our approach centres on the client's perspective when writing field mappings.
Having been responsible for end-to-end processes, including writing field mappings, transfer specification documents, and using multiple commercial ETL tools for Highways and Finance, SQL Scripting for Highways and Finance, and MsAccess for Planning/Regulatory services, we deeply understand the difficulties clients experience. This comprehensive expertise ensures a smooth and effective migration experience.
Our expertise and values
Our team brings extensive knowledge in performing and assisting clients with data transfers from legacy Built Environment and Regulatory systems. We excel at providing technical solutions for outdated, discontinued, or unsupported technology stacks and functionalities that often lock in valuable data.
Our core values revolve around understanding and empathy for client challenges, innovation in problem-solving, and a commitment to delivering effective and future-proof data migration strategies. We pride ourselves on transparent communication and collaborative partnerships, ensuring your data is not just moved, but intelligently transferred and integrated for future success.
