System Migration
Migrating out with the old system, in with the new
As organisations adapt to remain competitive, their products, services and business processes need the ability to change quickly. However, today, no matter their size, they struggle with the problem of maintaining the investment made in their legacy systems. At the same time they attempt to take advantage of the performance and reduced ownership costs of newer systems. Many legacy systems have been customised over time to meet the specific requirements of their business and are, in many cases, mission-critical systems.
The move over to new systems is generally a minefield: a simple configuration missed can put a system or business out of action for hours, if not days. Small medium enterprises (SMEs) normally don't have an in-house IT department to handle this and can both add pressure to businesses and hinder there development
The critical task can often also mean transferring data between old and new systems and cleaning or converting to a more suitable form.
