For many enterprises, the migration to new systems and the conciliation of existing systems is right at the top of their agenda. But migration projects in particular are matters of trust, because any systems migration is a complex, responsibility-heavy task. A great deal depends on deciding in favor of the right migration strategy and on having an experienced technology expert at your side who also keeps an eye on the “soft” factors of a migration project: for instance, user acceptance.

CENIT relies on different migration strategies:

• Key-date migration, optionally with interim systems
• Flowing migration in parallel with ongoing operations, also with delta migration
• Migration-on-demand: needs-dependent migration based on a combination of various strategies, which offers the advantage that the target system can be used productively within a very short time and users are not kept idle.

First off, CENIT’s consulting team will advise you in detail on which of these strategies is best suited to your enterprise. They will discuss advantages and disadvantages, walk you through various scenarios and explain, based on their migration experience, how you can make the change palatable to your users.

CENIT has various migration tools on hand, including the proprietary CENIT SERVICEMANAGER, a basic platform for customized data migration and data synchronization.

The CENIT team’s competency also extends to multi-tiered, highly sophisticated migrations. Systems which have grown over decades, contain highly sensitive documents worth millions, or have a large number of users and various interfaces to third-party systems: all these can be migrated to a new system within a short time.

For example, CENIT supports enterprises in implementing a gentle migration to the successful enterprise content management platform “IBM FileNet P8“: we ensure that the migration is conducted with minimal disturbance of ongoing operations.
