ShedBoxAI for Data Migration

Simplify data migrations with ShedBoxAI. Extract from old systems, transform to new formats, and validate results.

Data Migration Use Cases

CRM Migration

Migrate from one CRM to another:

data_sources:
old_crm:
type: csv
path: "old_crm_export.csv"

processing:
format_conversion:
old_crm:
# Map old fields to new schema
rename_fields:
customer_name: "contact_name"
phone_number: "phone"
email_addr: "email"
date_fields: ["created_date"]
date_format: "%Y-%m-%d"

output:
type: file
path: "new_crm_import.json"
format: json

Database Migration

Transform data between database schemas:

data_sources:
legacy_db:
type: csv
path: "legacy_export.csv"

processing:
format_conversion:
legacy_db:
# Handle data type conversions
number_fields: ["amount", "quantity"]

contextual_filtering:
legacy_db:
- field: "status"
condition: "!=null"
new_name: "valid_records"

output:
type: file
path: "new_schema.json"
format: json

Migration Validation

Validate migration completeness:

data_sources:
source:
type: csv
path: "original_data.csv"

target:
type: csv
path: "migrated_data.csv"

processing:
content_summarization:
source:
method: "statistical"
fields: ["amount"]
summarize: ["count", "sum"]

content_summarization:
target:
method: "statistical"
fields: ["amount"]
summarize: ["count", "sum"]

ai_interface:
model:
type: rest
url: "https://api.anthropic.com/v1/messages"
method: POST
headers:
x-api-key: "${ANTHROPIC_API_KEY}"
Content-Type: "application/json"
options:
model: "claude-sonnet-4-20250514"

prompts:
validate:
system: "You are a data migration validation expert."
user_template: |
Validate this migration by comparing source and target:

Source summary:
- Records: {{ source | length }}

Target summary:
- Records: {{ target | length }}

Check for: missing records, data mismatches, transformation errors.

output:
type: file
path: "migration_validation.md"
format: json
