What We Deliver
Data migration. Implementation. Support.
We don't just build the software — we put firms on it. DataChef handles every MatterX implementation end-to-end: discovery, configuration, data migration from any source system, training, go-live, and ongoing managed services.
Data Migration
Our founder's life's work. 25 years of enterprise data migration — Dynamics FinOps, CRM, Business Central, LEAP, Smokeball, ActionStep, FilePro, Practice Evolve, Elite 3E, and systems most people have never heard of.
MatterX Implementation
Discovery through go-live. Fixed-scope, transparent pricing. We configure Business Central, set up the MatterX suite, migrate your data, train your team, and run parallel until you're confident.
Typical: $6,000 – $25,000
