Once Testing and Refinement are complete and you are satisfied that the new application is suitable for production use, the last step in our process is to make final preparation for production deployment.
Objectives during this phase include migrating the data from your legacy application to the new system, training Admin personnel how to manage user accounts and security settings, and successfully deploying your new application into production use.
At this point in the project, your key personnel are already ‘experts’ on the new application, so End User training by Voom Software is rarely if ever necessary. If your application is hosted at Voom’s Data Center (included with Voom Software Maintenance and Support services), we may also need to register and set-up a domain name and test the new server configuration for security, performance and other items. It is important not to underestimate the potential issues and level of effort associated with migrating your legacy application business data to SQL Server. Common challenges include missing and/or invalid source data, and there is little in the way of technology that Voom Software can apply to make these issues go away.
