The MSS Proposition
Pre-Migration Activity
Through rigorous pre-planning and study, MSS gains a thorough understanding of your company’s past and present IT structures and issues. We then work with you to envision the best most cost efficient target environment. Armed with a thorough understanding of your technology requirements and their commercial implications, we deliver a migration proposal for your consideration. This process of defining the migration is the key to mitigating risk, securing departmental buy in and ensuring a smooth transition to the new environment.
Migration Activity
MSS uses a proven migration methodology derived from years of experience in migration projects. This methodology is supported by a set of automation tools that assist in each phase of the project and ensure an accurate and on-time migration. The tools are engineered to preserve the business logic and functionality of your existing system eliminating any need for training and re-education (ie. The screens will look the same & the programs will have same structure).
MSS has evolved a project management strategy through converting over 50 Unisys systems and recognizes the need to adapt and incorporate the client’s management procedures in project management. The very first task of the project is always to select and agree on a set of management procedures.
MSS is accustomed to working with its clients and partners in different ways and can be versatile to the migration’s requirements.
Post Migration Activity
We always stress the importance of moving to a standard platform as there is no on-going MSS support requirement. Our turnkey standard platform solutions allow our clients to operate without MSS immediately after the migration solution has been implemented. Every solution we deliver enables our clients to immediately observe up to a 70% reduction in IT operational costs as well as significant improvements in productivity.
Pricing
We have always been realistic and pragmatic in our approach to pricing migrations. In the vast majority of cases, our migration solutions begin to pay for themselves upon implementation and swiftly equate to extremely significant year on year IT operational cost savings. Whilst we cannot divulge actual pricing here for competitive reasons, we would be happy to undertake an introductory evaluation ahead of an "official" pre-migration study for your internal consideration.
