Jungroo AI built a migration pipeline that moves US educational institutions from old DBF-based systems to a modern data platform. It converts legacy formats, runs several migrations safely in parallel, validates data before it reaches production, and logs every step.
The challenge
Institutions moving off legacy DBF-format systems had to bring across large volumes of student records and linked files such as images, without corrupting data or disrupting service during onboarding.
The solution
Jungroo AI built a migration pipeline with five parts:
- Legacy Format Parsing: Reads DBF and binary files and converts them into a consistent modern schema.
- Parallel, Isolated Migrations: Several institutions can migrate at once without affecting each other.
- Validation Before Load: Business rules and error checks catch problems before data reaches production.
- File Extraction and Linking: Images and documents are pulled from archives and linked to the right records.
- Migration Logs: Real-time progress and detailed logs for each institution.
The impact
Impact
| Measure | Before | After |
|---|---|---|
| Onboarding | Manual and error-prone | Fast and automated |
| Data quality | Partial, fragmented | Validated before load |
| Risk | High risk of data loss | Every error caught and logged |
| Files | Disconnected from records | Linked to the right records |
