Conversion does not have to be expensive, complicated or risky. You simply have to avoid expensive mistakes, focus efforts on important objectives and be efficient in your processes.

Upgrading has two stages. The first stage, migration, involves simple conversion of existing databases to the new version. The second stage is implementing new features.

While migration is a fairly easy process, there are always potential risks and disruptions. These risks can be minimized or eliminated by using a proven, systematic approach.

Implementing new features requires an understanding of your business objectives and how the new features can be used to bring about change and improve business performance.

MTG 's development methodology combines a focus on achieving business objectives with a rigorous approach to project control, testing, documentation and knowledge transfer. In the hands of MTG 's experienced consultants, this approach reduces risk, reduces cost and maximizes improvement.

Conversion Steps

  • Assessment
  • Planning backup, baseline data sets and control versions
  • Migration, t esting and validation
  • Implement new features, testing and validation
  • Documentation
  • Knowledge transfer
