InformationLegacy Transformation
All migrations are complex, long-term projects that can seem overwhelming and require substantial investment. To help companies better manage transformation efforts, Collaborative has developed a path to creating a flexible Legacy Migration Roadmap—a plan that plots their objectives, direction and alternatives, step by step. The Roadmap helps companies migrate applications toward changing objectives, using a defined process focused on business goals. It also separates daunting projects into manageable phases, each of which delivers value.At Collaborative, we recognize that different organizations face different challenges, but our migration approach allows us to tailor strategies and solutions accordingly. Additionally, we understand that business priorities drive migration; we keep technology separate to prevent projects from bogging down in detail.
The Roadmap guides project teams through migration in manageable, defined phases. And, Collaborative does more than establish the Roadmap. We implement solutions, too, turning seemingly unmanageable migrations into achievable phases, each of which delivers value.
Forming the proper team is critical to legacy migration. It requires commitment and cooperation from stakeholders throughout the organization. These include business and IT executives and application and industry experts. Migration must especially be supported by business sponsors and entrenched within IT.
Additionally, an independent third party can offer a helpful outside perspective and ensure that stakeholders establish a Roadmap that will achieve business objectives without becoming ensnared in technical details.
Unbiased Partner
Whether as a facilitator to help a company establish a customized Roadmap or help implement the plan, Collaborative serves as an impartial partner, ensuring that work remains focused on clients’ business objectives.
We also ensure that each phase, in its own right, adds significant value, and does not depend on completion of a future phase. As such, future decisions to alter the architecture—a distinct possibility in a volatile marketplace—will not impair the value of earlier work. Significantly, the objective, or end state, is constantly in flux, underscoring the need for migration to flexible, robust systems.
