Overview: L&Q Group: Building better with clean data
Data migration is rarely straightforward, but partnering with Experian is.
L&Q, one of the UK’s largest housing associations, focuses on developing affordable homes, managing properties and supporting communities. To handle the extensive data generated from this, L&Q relied on Experian’s services.
By combining migration with data quality efforts, L&Q have experienced a seamless migration and established a strong foundation for future growth.
Challenge overview
In 2022, L&Q began their data migration journey, concentrating on two main areas.
Due to the combination of multifaceted processes in place, this project was far from straightforward, and as such, to ensure the best outcome, L&Q enlisted the expertise of Experian.
Challenges

We did not have the internal expertise to do this to a high standard and so I was glad that we had Experian there to help navigate the complexity.
