Discover MapFlow: the future of data migration

Welcome to the dedicated page for MapFlow, our groundbreaking solution designed to revolutionise data transfer migrations for local government. Explore how this sovereign zero-trust data staging and automation engine can transform your operations, ensuring security, efficiency, and compliance.

Introducing MapFlow UK: your sovereign data solution

MapFlow UK is the engineering answer to complex multi-system consolidations. It's a sovereign zero-trust data staging and automation engine designed specifically for local government. MapFlow achieves this through:

  • Local Client Architecture (Sandboxed Chrome IndexedDB): Offering 10GB isolated staging pipelines, a full PostgreSQL 16 WASM engine, automated document/TIFF compression, and hardware-bound TPM key custody.
  • Stateless Cloud Utility (Base44 Orchestrator): Featuring pipeline dependency graphs, runtime liveness heartbeats, execution run logging, and crucially, zero stored citizen data.

This innovative approach ensures your data migrations are secure, compliant, and highly efficient.

Who benefits most from MapFlow?

In UK local authorities or unitary councils undergoing major Local Government Reorganisation (LGR), the challenge of balancing data migration speed with legal compliance often leads to massive departmental deadlocks. MapFlow UK, with its advanced Separation of Concerns (SoC) model, addresses these critical issues for key departments:

  • Data Protection Officer (DPO) and Senior Information Risk Owner (SIRO): Ensuring compliance and mitigating risks.
  • IT and Digital Transformation Leads: Streamlining complex migrations.
  • Finance and Procurement Teams: Reducing costs and avoiding penalties.
  • Operational Department Heads: Maintaining service continuity during transitions.

By isolating data processing within a 10GB sandboxed Chrome IndexedDB workspace and keeping the cloud layer strictly stateless, MapFlow solves the most critical, high-stress operational problems for these four specific departments.

Solving your data migration headaches

When UK local authorities or newly unified unitary councils undertake an LGR, moving sensitive citizen records from on-premise systems to cloud applications is a minefield. MapFlow UK, engineered based on 30 years of data migration expertise, eliminates the chronic network failures, financial penalties, and security deadlocks that routinely stall council transformations.

MapFlow tackles six critical technical and operational headaches:

  1. The 2GB Corruption Ceiling & Network Lockouts: Legacy tools like Microsoft Access often hit a 2GB limit, causing degradation or corruption. MapFlow bypasses this by not relying on such tools and avoiding "SMB Leases Bug" related network issues.
  2. Data Sensitivity & Zero-Trust: MapFlow ensures citizen data is never stored in the cloud, maintaining a zero-trust environment.
  3. Compliance & Audit Trails: Provides comprehensive logging and audit trails for all data processes.
  4. Speed & Efficiency: Accelerates migration timelines without compromising data integrity.
  5. Cost Overruns: Reduces unexpected costs associated with stalled migrations and data breaches.
  6. System Integration Complexity: Simplifies the consolidation of data from multiple disparate systems.

MapFlow UK vs. the alternatives

MapFlow UK stands apart from traditional migration methods. Here's a technical evaluation matrix highlighting its superior capabilities compared to legacy desktop utilities and standard enterprise cloud solutions:

Data capacity & scaling thresholds

  • Legacy Desktop Utilities (e.g., MS Access / Spreadsheets): Severe 2GB limit. Database files structurally degrade or permanently corrupt under the weight of a multi-system merge.
  • Traditional Enterprise Cloud (Standard SaaS ETL Pipelines): Uncapped cloud scaling, but requires uploading raw, unclean citizen data to external infrastructure.
  • MapFlow UK Platform (Sovereign Local-Proxy + WASM): The best of both worlds. 10GB isolated execution sandbox per browser tab (via local Chrome IndexedDB) backed by an infinite central PostgreSQL warehouse.

Network resilience & remote work

  • Legacy Desktop Utilities: Catastrophic risk. High-latency VPNs trigger documented "SMB Lease" bugs, causing instant file locks and mid-write data loss.
  • Traditional Enterprise Cloud: High performance, but completely dependent on continuous internet connections and external server availability.
  • MapFlow UK Platform: Native browser isolation. Pipelines run locally inside Chrome's secure memory space. If a VPN drops, the pipeline simply pauses and resumes when the connection is re-established, without data loss or corruption.

Security & compliance posture

  • Legacy Desktop Utilities: Zero auditability. Files are copied directly between unmanaged desktop locations, often unsecured. High risk of data leakage.
  • Traditional Enterprise Cloud: Requires full upload of raw citizen data to third-party cloud infrastructure, increasing attack surface and compliance burden.
  • MapFlow UK Platform: Zero stored citizen data in the cloud. All sensitive processing occurs client-side in an isolated, encrypted sandbox. Offers full cryptographic key management.
