Client Application Migration Rethink the Client NOW
CLIENT applications – the challenges • 1. Client OS Migration • Resource intensive • Lack of Business Unit engagement/user support • Lack of application prioritisation • Lack of deployment planning • Unknown applications • 2. Application Compatibility • Uncertainty of applications working on new OS • What is the impact? • How do I test? • How long will it take? • How much will it cost? • What’s the level of predictability? • 3. Ongoing Application Packaging • Expensive resources • Limited flexibility/ scalability • Poor quality packages • Poor Service Levels • Lack of training budget to re-skill resources
Take a sequential approach to migrations covering every step of the process Ensure the phases are customizable and available in isolation Benefits: Higher quality application compatibility/remediation/testing Reduced application remediation costs Faster Remediation Successful end-to-end migration Discovery Assessment Fix Check Testing Deployment Client Application Migration Planning
