A major international humanitarian organisation needed to evaluate whether an existing information management platform — supporting sensitive case-based workflows related to missing persons and forensic identification — could be migrated into a modern, open-source data ecosystem. The challenge was not just technical: the platform handled highly sensitive personal data under strict protection and access control requirements, which meant any migration strategy had to account for data governance and privacy from the outset.
We conducted a full technical and functional assessment covering data model analysis, system architecture, functional alignment, and implementation strategy options. We evaluated how complex case-based workflows could be reproduced in the target environment, what customisation would be required, and what governance structures would need to be in place before any migration could proceed.
