Security policy documentation
Duration: 1-2 weeks
2

Architecture Planning

Design target platform architecture and detailed migration strategy based on assessment findings.

Target platform design
Migration strategy selection
Risk mitigation planning
Rollback procedure definition
Duration: 1-2 weeks
3

Environment Setup

Configure target platform and establish migration tools and processes in isolated environment.

Target platform provisioning
Migration tool configuration
Test environment setup
Monitoring and logging setup
Duration: 2-3 weeks
4

Pilot Migration

Execute migration with small subset of users and applications to validate processes and identify issues.

Pilot user group selection
Data migration execution
Application testing and validation
User acceptance testing
Duration: 1-2 weeks
5

Full Migration & Cutover

Execute complete migration in phases with comprehensive monitoring and support procedures.

Post-migration optimization
Duration: 2-4 weeks

Common Multi-Platform Migration Challenges

Understanding and overcoming cross-platform migration complexities

Data Format Incompatibilities

📊
Different platforms use varying data formats, attribute schemas, and storage mechanisms that require careful mapping and transformation during migration.

Our Solution Approach:

  • Automated data mapping tools
  • Schema transformation scripts
  • Data validation and integrity checks
  • Custom attribute preservation

Authentication Protocol Differences

🔐
Platforms may use different authentication protocols (SAML, OIDC, OAuth) requiring application updates and protocol bridging during transition periods.

Our Solution Approach:

  • Protocol conversion utilities
  • Application compatibility matrix
  • Gradual protocol migration
  • Bridge authentication services

Feature Parity & Customization

⚙️
Ensuring all custom configurations, rules, and integrations from the source platform are properly replicated or adapted in the target platform.

Our Solution Approach:

  • Feature mapping and gap analysis
  • Custom rule conversion tools
  • Alternative implementation strategies
  • Enhanced feature recommendations

User Experience Continuity

👥
Maintaining familiar user experience and minimizing disruption while transitioning between platforms with potentially different interfaces and workflows.

Our Solution Approach:

  • Custom branding and theming
  • User interface consistency
  • Progressive feature introduction
  • Comprehensive user training
