Representative embodiments disclose mechanisms for data and identity migration, such as from an on-premises environment to a cloud environment. The system comprises multiple data collectors, each tailored to collect data from a data source. In a representative example, data collectors for a source application, a source identity repository and a target identity repository are utilized. Once the data is collected, it is stored in a database and methods are used to identify correlations (i.e., matches) between the source application data, the source identity repository data and the target identity repository data. The correlations are memorialized and presented to a user for rationalization. The process is stateful so that prior decisions are remembered. Once the user is satisfied with the rationalization, the system exports files that are consumed by a migration process to perform the actual data migration.
