Earl Francis
Independent Legacy Data Consultant
I help organizations get their legacy data ready for migration and modernization—without the hype.
What I Help With
- Assessing whether your data is ready for a migration or system change.
- Identifying gaps, inconsistencies, and risks in legacy data before they become costly.
- Clarifying scope and expectations so you know what you’re buying and what you’ll get.
- Providing a clear, written deliverable you can use with stakeholders or vendors.
What I Don’t Do
- I don’t sell software, platforms, or ongoing retainers.
- I don’t do hands-on data migration or ETL development.
- I don’t promise “thought leadership” or generic strategy decks.
- I don’t work in regulated industries where special compliance applies.
Initial Engagement
Legacy Data Readiness Assessment — Fixed scope, fixed price, clear deliverable. I review your data landscape, document what’s in place, what’s at risk, and what you’d need to do before a migration or modernization. You receive a concise report and a short discussion. No open-ended engagements.
