You've got a plan to migrate the systems. We'll help migrate your people.
Choosing a new technology is tough. There are so many choices requiring big investment dollars. Usually, the choice is driven by a technology strategy or initiative like SOA. Once the choice is made, technology-focused migration planning occurs. But there is more to technology migration planning than just IT project planning.
How does the migration effect the software engineering process? Is there a more efficient organizational structure to support the new initiative? And what about the staff - how are they going to become productive in the new paradigm?
Team Migration Service
On average a technology migration costs an organization $80,000 per employee in training and lost productivity. On top of the technology infrastructure costs!
Many migration efforts fail solely because companies don’t address how the team will become productive in the new environment. In order to ensure productivity during and after the migration, it’s essential to understand and plan for the impact on the team. Only when an organization emerges with the competency and capability to productively support and flourish in the new paradigm is the migration effort successful.
The DevelopIntelligence Team Migration service helps you emerge with the competencies, capabilities, and the productivity required for a successful migration. Leveraging our proven evaluate.architect.construct. process, we work with you to create and implement a team migration plan which supplements your technology migration plan. The team migration plan will not only ensure your success, it will also reduce the employee costs.
Team Migration Success Story
Like many financial services, our Client with a significant presence on Wall Street was faced with an aging technology infrastructure hindering the advancement and productivity of the business. As a result, our Client identified the need to migrate from its legacy systems to modern, service oriented systems.
Faced with a tough decision, its staff did not have the competency to support the modern systems. Our Client either had to lay off staff - and lose the intellectual property - or hire new staff, without the domain knowledge. Recognizing the loss in intellectual property was too significant, our Client determined the most cost-effective solution was to migrate the technology staff. But, they needed help.
DevelopIntelligence, working with the internal training organization as well as the office of architecture, developed a team migration strategy for over three hundred technical staff members. 30 days after the team migration plan was put into place, our Client was able to begin execution of the plan, running nearly 100 people through the program in less than a quarter.
Due the proprietary nature of work, we can't openly disclose who our Client with a significant presence on Wall Street is. But, we can tell you that today, our Client has successfully migrated over 200 people from legacy development to modern-OO based development.
