3. Your job is hard enough without having to spend countless hours trying to shoehorn
data into a new system. We understand that your priorities pivot around reducing
risk, time and cost:
Addressing the challenges of data migration
• Risk: You need to maintain day-to- day
operations while making strategic changes.
• Time: You have deadlines and
expectations to meet and need data
migrations to happen on-time.
• Cost: You need data migration projects to
be delivered on-budget, without any
unforeseen costs.
Faced with these challenges, it’s no wonder
that data migration is a notoriously tough
undertaking.
That’s why we offer Xuber Upgrade Services
which encompass Xuber Upgrade Studio and
the Xuber Upgrade Methodology, a proven
approach that will enable you to manage the
complexities of data migration and system
upgrades with ease.
What is the Xuber Upgrade Methodology?
What is Upgrade Studio?
Whether your business is upgrading from
an existing Xuber software solution (e.g.
Iris or Genius) or migrating to Xuber from
a third party system, the Xuber Upgrade
Methodology will smooth the transition so
you can carry on with business as normal.
As an integral part of Xuber Upgrade Services,
Upgrade Studio is an application to control
and automate the migration process, from both
existing Xuber systems and third-party systems
to the Xuber platform. Upgrade Studio assists
in three ways, enabling customers to analyse
source data, plan a migration and then manage
the migration process.
• This proven, single-solution delivery
methodology provides a recognised,
scalable approach to system upgrades
based on best practice, consistency
and reducing risk - from the first point of
customer contact to going live with your
new Xuber solution.
Xuber Upgrade Studio:
Is a technology solution designed to
minimise risk and reduce uncertainty.
• Included with the Xuber platform.
• Using the Xuber Upgrade Methodology,
we will work with you to determine
the scope of an upgrade to the Xuber
platform assessing the impact of changes,
identifying configuration settings,
determining test requirements and
supporting you on the ground to perform
the upgrade.
• Designed to eliminate the need to develop
bespoke migration routines.
• A reusable, simple yet powerful tool that
can be deployed by you to take control of
your own upgrades.
How does Xuber Upgrade Studio work?
The Xuber Promise:
Migration at a
predictable cost, in
a known timescale
• Our migration specialists have extensive
experience in handling upgrades, and
you’ll be involved throughout the
process - from scope definition through to
deployment – giving you the confidence
and results you need to upgrade with ease.
• Upgrade Studio uses the relevant adapter
for your source system to ensure alignment
with your new Xuber solution.
• Upgrade Studio makes sure that, once in
a suitable format, all your data is validated
in the new Xuber platform. This is done
through a full value mapping facility
validated against a checklist.
