Migration Guide

Switch to Olympus from competitors

Step-by-step guide for migrating from Middesk, Avalara, Nursys, and other competitors to Olympus APIs with minimal disruption.

01

Migration Overview

Migrating to Olympus can be done incrementally. Run both systems in parallel during transition to ensure data consistency.

02

Mapping Endpoints

Map your existing API calls to equivalent Olympus endpoints. Most operations have direct equivalents with improved response formats.

typescript
class="text-white/class="text-amber-400">30 italic">// Middesk to JANUS mapping
class="text-pink-400">const endpointMap = {
  class="text-white/class="text-amber-400">30 italic">// Middesk -> JANUS
  class="text-emerald-class="text-amber-400">400">'POST /v1/businesses': class="text-emerald-class="text-amber-400">400">'POST /v1/entities/verify',
  class="text-emerald-class="text-amber-400">400">'GET /v1/businesses/:id': class="text-emerald-class="text-amber-400">400">'GET /v1/entities/:id',
  class="text-emerald-class="text-amber-400">400">'GET /v1/businesses/:id/documents': class="text-emerald-class="text-amber-400">400">'GET /v1/entities/:id/filings',
};

class="text-white/class="text-amber-400">30 italic">// Response transformation
class="text-pink-400">function transformResponse(olympusResponse) {
  class="text-pink-400">return {
    id: olympusResponse.entity_id,
    name: olympusResponse.legal_name,
    status: olympusResponse.status.toLowerCase(),
    class="text-white/class="text-amber-400">30 italic">// ... map other fields
  };
}
03

Parallel Running

Run both systems simultaneously, comparing results to validate data consistency before full cutover.

04

Data Migration

For cached or stored data, create migration scripts to update references and formats to Olympus conventions.

05

Testing Strategy

Create comprehensive test suites that validate functionality against your existing system before cutover.
