Accentuate by K3 Hub – AI agents and data migration – easier than ever; harder than ever

Our eighth Accentuate by K3 Hub of 2026 took place on Friday 9th October 2026. In this webinar, aimed at accountants and other professional advisers, our speaker, John Chinery, Commercial Lead at Pinnacle, asks whether AI is making data migration easier, harder, or simply different – and what that means for advisers and their clients. AI agents are beginning to change the way businesses implement and move between accounting and ERP platforms. Tasks that once required days of spreadsheet manipulation – cleansing data, identifying patterns, transforming fields, mapping records and resolving import errors – can increasingly be assisted or automated by AI. But making data easier to move does not necessarily make migration easier. As technology removes many of the mechanical barriers to migration, new challenges arrive. Context? Data Slop? Hallucination? Reconciliation? During this one-hour session, we look at how AI agents are changing data migration and implementation, where they can genuinely reduce time and cost, and why human judgement, controls and understanding of the underlying business data may become more important rather than less. We cover: • How AI agents are changing data cleansing, mapping and transformation • Why easier migration could lead businesses to migrate much more historic data • Data privacy • The difference between moving data correctly and understanding what the data means • How AI can improve reconciliation, validation and migration testing • The risks of confidently automating the wrong mapping or transformation • Where human judgement and accountability still sit in an AI-assisted implementation • Whether AI will finally make ERP migration faster – or simply raise expectations of what should be migrated
