Import
Bring your payroll data into the migration process.Start with existing company, employee and payroll information from your current payroll environment or supported structured data source.
Move to Ocean Across
Switching payroll software shouldn't mean starting again.
Move your existing payroll data into Ocean Across through a structured migration process designed to help you map, validate and review information before your first live payroll.
Migration without the guesswork
Know what is moving before it moves.
Payroll migration is more than transferring employee names and opening balances.
Company settings, employee records, year-to-date figures, pay elements and payroll history all need to arrive in the right place and make sense when they get there.
Ocean Across is designed to make that transition visible from start to finish.

This can include
- Missing or incomplete information
- Unmatched source fields
- Inconsistent records
- Unexpected values
- Data requiring manual review
- Differences identified during reconciliation
The system helps surface the issue.
Your payroll team remains in control of how it is resolved.

Start of year or mid-year
Your payroll calendar shouldn't dictate whether you can improve your software.
A payroll move does not always happen neatly at the start of a tax year.
Ocean Across is designed around structured migration and reconciliation so organisations can plan the transition around their payroll operation rather than treating migration as a simple one-time import.
For mid-year moves, particular attention can be given to the payroll information needed to maintain continuity between the previous system and Ocean Across.
