To provide end users with solutions across multiple platforms, software companies put much time and effort into migrating and porting their products. This endeavor can require a huge investment in resources and can cause major challenges in product support.
Leveraging its Distributed Agile Method and platform (GlobalLogic Velocity™), GlobalLogic helps software companies successfully overcome these challenges so that they can focus entirely on core product development rather than cross-platform compatibility. Our migration and porting services provide product transformation from source to target-both across platforms and across design architectures-while optimizing code performance for equal or enhanced performance.
GlobalLogic's range of migration software services include:
- Operating System migration (e.g., Solaris, Linux, Windows)
- Pre .NET-to-.NET migration
- Application server migration
- J2EE to .NET Migration and vice versa
- Proprietary architecture to open, standards-based architecture (e.g., J2EE, .NET)
- Database migration (e.g., SQL Server, Oracle, DB2)
- Programming language migration
- Platform interoperability (Mobile)
GlobalLogic has a well-evolved migration methodology that covers all phases of the process, from impact analysis to deployment and testing. There are four key steps in our migration strategy:
- Planning, risk and needs analysis
- Versioning control and library definition customization
- Build system and code migration
- Detailed testing and debugging
The following illustration explains the four steps in detail:
GlobalLogic customizes its migration methodology based on client context and factors like:
- Application architecture
- Application nature and size
- Business impact and priority
- Other constraints like cost, scheduling, etc.
In addition, GlobalLogic's migration team provides an accurate account of applications affected by the migration, defines migration issues by count and severity, and outlines a delivery plan and cost model to complete the migration. |
