Updates and migration: switching over with minimal downtime.
Operating system change, Office migration or server update: we plan ahead, test in advance and switch over so that your business is down for as short a time as possible and no data is lost.
How we switch over
Carefully and to plan. The cut-over date is the end of the work, not the beginning.
- AnalyseWe record what is being switched over and what depends on it.
- Plan the cut-overProcess, sequence and timing of the switchover, so that downtime stays short.
- Test in advanceWe try out the switchover before it affects your business.
- Switch overWe carry out the switchover and check that everything runs, with no data loss.
Even when the usual tools are not enough
- Legacy systemsA legacy system without a clean export interface needs replacing, or the standard tools cannot map your data structure. We analyse in depth, plan the cut-over and switch over without data loss.
- DatabasesChanging database systems, version upgrades and replication: planned, tested and with a fallback option. More on database design
- Moving premisesFor an IT relocation we plan the process, the sequence and a contingency plan, until every workstation is running on the cut-over date. IT relocation
- Ongoing updatesWe monitor smaller updates under the maintenance contract, so that nothing piles up.
