Our Cloud Migration Process Overview
Initial Assessment and Requirement Gathering
Empyra’s Atlassian Cloud Migration experts will do an assessment of your current implementation, data volume, apps used, and integrations. We will look for any redundant apps, duplicate user-profiles and explore room for optimization. Will deep dive into the requirements and expectations.
Impact Analysis: We will do a detailed impact study and list out the risk factors if any.
Migration Plan: We will prepare and share a detailed migration plan along with the timelines expected. It will outline apps to be migrated, data clean-up & integrations needed, and license optimization.
Development: Output from the previous 3 steps is put into action and gets the environment ready for executing a successful migration as per the customers’ requirements.
Dry Run: A dry run is done using dummy data to see if the apps and configurations and working as intended. If any issues are identified, there will be another dry run after the issues are fixed.
Actual Migration: Migration will be completed with production data followed by thorough testing by the Empyra team.
Formal UAT: At this stage, the customers do the formal UAT and report issues if any. Usually, there will not be any major issues as we will iron out problems during the dry run. However, if any issues are identified, those will be fixed on priority.
Sign off: The migration journey is completed and Empyra provides support and training as needed.
