Transition & Migration

Transition & Migration Management is a solid foundation for outsourcing projects. It is about a lasting partnership with the customer to realize his project. First of all, the goals (the so-called KGIs) are roughly defined and visions are expressed. In the course of a feasibility study the rough goals are concretized.
We as partners of our customers support our clients in requirements management, assessments, tenders, cost analysis, project planning and control the other suppliers and sub-suppliers, so that our customers have a Single Point of Contact (SPOC) with us.
Experience shows that projects with an “excellent” Transition & Migration Management achieve the outsourcing goals several times more often than those with a “bad” or even without Transition & Migration Management. Even those using a “good” Transition & Migration Management were more likely to achieve their goals. The most important aspect is the ability of a supplier to implement the changes requested by the customer. A good transition methodology will increase the success rate while ensuring the customer’s business continuity and bringing about positive changes in people, processes and systems. As a result, the uncertainties of all stakeholders of the customer will be almost completely eliminated.

The key to an excellent transition from A to B is that the change is carried out by dedicated transition & migration teams. The team should be made up of highly specialized transition & migration managers and specialists who are available during a project to guide the client into a stable state.

Once transition is clearly defined and planned, the next step is migration. During migration, the planned activities are executed and regularly and very closely monitored and reported on. Our transition and migration managers are trained and professional program or project managers with migration experience. The Transition & Migration Team manages the handover of the work packages to the deployment team, which will handle the ongoing contract at the “go-live” date after the rollout. In our experience, early involvement of the assignment team is essential to ensure control over important decisions. In addition, project risks (dangers and opportunities) must be identified and measures to minimize or increase risks must be planned in order to ensure business continuity right from the start.

An important part of the process is proper stakeholder management and stakeholder analysis. Understanding the impact of the desired change on stakeholders is essential for a successful transition to normal operations.

Transparency and loyalty are the most important foundations for a successful and lasting partnership between customer and supplier. Control and reporting structures are the most important mechanisms to ensure transparency during the transition.

Our experience is that effective control structures should be formalized and consist of three parts:

The joint organization should include a steering committee, a program committee and, where necessary, geographical audit committees and selected working groups.

It is important that all key stakeholders are involved in the steering process and that the relevant experts have a direct link to achieve the objectives of the individual work processes in the project.

In the context of transition and migration management, we not only provide you with a team of high-level experts, but we also submit a concept with critical success factors for the overall execution of all work packages and support your company in achieving its goals. Talk to us. applebone.
