As organisations mature, merge and add new functions, their IT platforms become more complex and more costly. Frequently larger businesses reliant on older proprietary systems are tempted to move to open architecture to add more features and reduce costs. Conscious of this predicament MSS has built up an enviable reputation for delivering complex migration solutions on time and within budget.
 
The decision to migrate is not an easy one. Change, especially when something is working, often has the unfortunate perception of being risky. Change is not always an immediately attractive proposition for a number of different reasons. We have been in the business of change for years and we’re here to make the process as frictionless as possible.
 
When organisations come to consider migrating from their legacy systems, that consideration process brings many stakeholders and their interests together. The fundamental questions that need to be answered are: Should we migrate, can we migrate, and if we can and should - how will we do it, with whom and at what cost?
 
Through rigorous pre-planning and study, MSS gains a thorough understanding of your company’s past and present IT structures and issues. Combining this with our experience and product knowledge, we then deliver a migration proposal for your internal team’s consideration. Often we find this step to be the most important in the whole process as it helps to clarify the business reason for modernization. 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.
 
Whilst many of our migrations have been based on the core elements of our product suite, every end solution is bespoke to each client. We do however always stress the importance of moving to a standard platform as there is no on-going support requirement.
