Vault Data Migration

Move your engineering data with confidence.

Whether you're moving from network drives, another PDM system or an existing Vault, we'll migrate your engineering data safely, accurately and with minimal disruption. Your files, revision history and metadata arrive organised, complete and ready to use.

When do you need a migration?

We help organisations migrate from:

Network drives

Legacy PDM and PLM systems

Existing Autodesk Vault environments

Multiple Vault databases

Engineering document management systems

Custom and in-house databases

Whether your migration involves 20,000 files or two million, we'll recommend the right approach.

What you get

A successful migration isn't just moving files. You receive:

  • Complete engineering data in Vault

  • Revision history preserved

  • Metadata and properties retained

  • Duplicate and obsolete files removed

  • Clean folder and category structures

  • Validation and completeness reporting

  • Minimal downtime for your engineering team

Most migrations are completed over a planned weekend cutover.

Our migration process

  1. 1

    Assess

    We review your existing data, identify issues and prepare a migration plan before anything moves.

  2. 2

    Clean

    We remove duplicates, repair references, validate metadata and organise your engineering data before importing it into Vault.

  3. 3

    Migrate

    Your data is loaded into Vault using proven migration tools and processes designed for large engineering datasets.

  4. 4

    Validate

    We verify the migration, provide audit reporting, train your team and support the transition into production.

Proven at enterprise scale

Over the past 15 years we've completed enterprise engineering data migrations for manufacturers, utilities and other engineering organisations. Here's what that means in practice:

Single migrations from 20,000 files to over 2 million

Multiple office locations consolidated into a single Vault

Out of Objective ECM, ENOVIA SmarTeam, Siemens Teamcenter, SAP, SOLIDWORKS PDM, Enigma and home-grown systems – with revision (version) history intact

Multiple information sources reconciled – Excel and Access registers, and wherever else the revision metadata lives

Weekend cutovers with minimal business disruption

Converted and cleaned on the way in

Many of these projects remain confidential, but we're happy to discuss similar migration scenarios.

Built for engineering data

Engineering files are different from ordinary documents. Assemblies, references, revisions, BOMs and metadata all need to remain intact.

Our migration process is designed specifically for Autodesk Vault, Inventor, AutoCAD and SOLIDWORKS environments, ensuring your engineering data remains accurate and usable from day one.

Need a data migration service or a DIY tool?

Not every project requires a consulting engagement.

For straightforward migrations from folders into Vault, Turbo Loader may be the best option.

For larger or more complex projects involving legacy systems, multiple sites or revision history, our migration service provides end-to-end delivery.

We'll recommend the option that's right for your situation.
