Updates & migration IT support

- **Scope:** operating system, Office, servers
- **Approach:** plan, test, switch over
- **Goal:** minimal downtime
- **Data:** no data loss
- **Special case:** legacy systems without export

## How we switch over

Carefully and to plan. The cut-over date is the end of the work, not the beginning.

- Analyse: We record what is being switched over and what depends on it.
- Plan the cut-over: Process, sequence and timing of the switchover, so that downtime stays short.
- Test in advance: We try out the switchover before it affects your business.
- Switch over: We carry out the switchover and check that everything runs, with no data loss.

## Even when the usual tools are not enough

- Legacy systems: A 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.
- Databases: Changing database systems, version upgrades and replication: planned, tested and with a fallback option. [More on database design](https://1x1it.de/en/datenbankdesign/)
- Moving premises: For 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](https://1x1it.de/en/dienstleistungen/#it-umzug)
- Ongoing updates: We monitor smaller updates under the [maintenance contract](https://1x1it.de/en/it-support/wartungsvertrag/), so that nothing piles up.
