Give Your Legacy Data the Future It Deserves
Years of arcade history shouldn't be trapped in outdated systems. Your player data, achievements, and records deserve to thrive on modern platforms where they can continue serving your business and community.
Return HomeWhat This Migration Brings You
Legacy system migration isn't just about moving data—it's about unlocking possibilities that have been waiting for you. Here's what becomes possible when your arcade data finds its new home.
Complete Historical Preservation
Every player record, every achievement, every moment of engagement from your legacy systems transfers with perfect accuracy. Nothing gets left behind, nothing gets lost. Your arcade's history remains intact and accessible.
Modern Platform Capabilities
Once migrated, your data opens doors to features that weren't possible before. Enhanced analytics, improved player experiences, and integration with contemporary systems become reality rather than wishful thinking.
Peace of Mind Throughout
You'll sleep better knowing your migration includes comprehensive rollback procedures. If anything doesn't meet our exacting standards, we can safely return to your original system without any data loss.
Future-Ready Foundation
Your arcade business gains a solid foundation for growth. When opportunities arise for expansion or new features, your modernized data infrastructure will be ready to support them.
We Understand What You're Facing
Living with legacy systems creates challenges that weigh on you daily. We've walked alongside hundreds of arcade operators through these same difficulties, and we genuinely understand what keeps you up at night.
The Weight of Responsibility
You're the guardian of years—sometimes decades—of player engagement and business history. The thought of losing even a single record during migration feels like betraying that trust. This responsibility can feel overwhelming, especially when outdated documentation leaves you guessing about data structures and dependencies.
The Pressure of Time and Resources
Legacy systems demand constant attention and workarounds just to keep functioning. Meanwhile, opportunities to improve your arcade operations pass by because your data remains locked in outdated infrastructure. The gap between where you are and where you want to be grows wider each month.
The Fear of the Unknown
Migration feels risky because so much remains uncertain. Will the data map correctly? What if something breaks during the transition? How long will your systems need to be offline? These questions create anxiety that makes taking action feel impossible, even when you know change is necessary.
These challenges are real, and they deserve to be acknowledged. You're not being overly cautious—you're being appropriately protective of something valuable. That's exactly the mindset we appreciate and work to support.
Our Approach to Legacy Migration
We've refined our legacy system migration process through years of working with arcade operators facing exactly your situation. Our methodology transforms complexity into clarity, one careful step at a time.
Deep Discovery Phase
We begin by truly understanding your legacy systems—not just their technical specifications, but their quirks, their history, and why they evolved the way they did. This discovery phase typically takes place over several conversations where we ask questions, review documentation, and explore your data structures together.
Our goal isn't to rush through this phase. We invest the time needed to build a complete picture because surprises during migration create stress neither of us wants.
Comprehensive Mapping Strategy
Every field in your legacy system needs a home in your new platform. We create detailed mapping documentation that shows exactly where each piece of data will land and how relationships between records will be preserved. This mapping becomes your roadmap and safety net.
We review these maps with you before any data moves. You'll understand the migration plan completely, and we'll address any concerns together.
Staged Migration with Validation
We don't believe in all-or-nothing migrations. Instead, we move data in stages, validating accuracy at each step. This approach lets us catch and resolve issues early, when they're easiest to fix. You'll receive detailed reports showing what's been migrated and the validation results.
At every stage, rollback procedures remain ready. If something doesn't meet our quality standards, we can safely step back and address the issue before proceeding.
Documentation and Handoff
When the migration completes, you receive comprehensive documentation explaining your new data structure, how it relates to your legacy system, and what processes were applied during migration. This documentation serves your team for years to come.
We also provide training on accessing and working with your migrated data, ensuring your team feels confident with the new system.
What Working Together Looks Like
Your experience throughout this migration will be marked by clarity, communication, and care. Here's what you can expect as we work together to modernize your arcade data.
Your Migration Journey

We schedule several conversations to understand your systems, your concerns, and your goals. You'll feel heard and understood, not rushed. We document everything we learn and share it with you for review.
Week 2-3: Building the Migration Plan
Together, we create the detailed roadmap for your migration. You'll see exactly what will happen, when it will happen, and what safeguards are in place. We adjust the plan based on your feedback until you feel completely comfortable.
Week 3-6: Staged Migration Execution
The actual data movement happens in carefully planned stages. After each stage, we validate the results together and address any questions. You'll receive regular updates and always know exactly where things stand.
Week 6-8: Verification and Training
We conduct comprehensive verification of all migrated data and walk your team through the new system. You'll gain confidence in accessing and working with your modernized data infrastructure.

Why This Approach Works
Our legacy migration methodology has been refined through years of practical experience with arcade systems. Here's what makes it effective and how you'll see progress throughout the process.
Staged Approach Reduces Risk
By migrating data in carefully planned stages rather than all at once, we dramatically reduce the risk of problems. Each stage completes successfully before we move to the next, and validation occurs at every step.
This methodology has proven itself across hundreds of arcade migrations, with a success rate we're genuinely proud of.
Multiple Validation Layers
We don't just move data and hope it's correct. Multiple independent validation processes verify accuracy at the record level, relationship level, and system level. This redundancy catches issues before they become problems.
Our validation framework has identified and corrected potential issues in every single migration we've conducted.
What You'll See Throughout Your Migration
Discovery Documentation
Detailed assessment reports showing what we've learned about your systems, potential challenges identified, and preliminary migration strategy.
Mapping Specifications
Complete data mapping documents showing field-by-field transformations, relationship preservation strategies, and validation criteria for each data type.
Stage Completion Reports
After each migration stage, you receive validation results showing records transferred, accuracy verification, and any anomalies addressed.
Final Verification
Comprehensive validation report confirming all data transferred successfully, complete documentation package, and team training completion.
Our methodology has successfully migrated over 850 arcade systems with zero catastrophic data loss incidents. While every migration presents unique challenges, our systematic approach has proven capable of handling complexity while maintaining data integrity.
Most legacy system migrations complete within 6-8 weeks, though exact timelines depend on your system's complexity and data volume. We'll provide realistic time estimates during our initial assessment.
Our Commitment to Your Success
We stand behind our migration work with commitments that protect your investment and give you confidence throughout the process. Here's what you can count on.
Data Integrity Guarantee
Every record transfers with verified accuracy, or we don't consider the migration complete. Our multi-layer validation ensures your data integrity throughout the process, with rollback procedures ready if needed.
Realistic Timeline Commitment
The timeline we provide during assessment reflects our honest evaluation of your migration's scope. We'd rather take the time needed to do it right than rush and risk your data.
Rollback Protection
At every migration stage, comprehensive rollback procedures remain ready. If anything doesn't meet our quality standards, we can safely return to your original system without data loss.
Continued Support
30 days of post-migration support ensures any questions or concerns get addressed promptly. Our relationship continues beyond the technical completion of your migration.
