The principle of smooth migration with Armony Solution
To meet these challenges, OOTARY has developed an innovative approach: smooth migration. This method, based on the use of Armony Solution's Data module, enables a gradual and secure transition to IFS Cloud.
Definition and methodology
Soft migration is a method of gradually transferring data from an IFS Applications environment to IFS Cloud, while maintaining the activity of the existing system.
This approach can be broken down into several stages:
Analysis Complete scan of the database to be migrated, automatic determination of a tree of links between the tables to be migrated, automatic generation of a 1st set of scripts.
Framing : Precise definition of the migration perimeter, historical management and/or data transformation strategy, and development of a detailed plan.
Synchronization Progressive data transfer with bidirectional synchronization mechanism.
This method offers many advantages:
- Reduction risks :
The gradual transition minimizes the risk of errors and disruptions, the focus is on data quality, the migration is anticipated and considerably reduces the Go Live bottleneck. - Business continuity :
The company can continue to use its existing system during the migration. - Data optimization :
The process cleans and transforms data in real time.
