The culmination of any IT project lifecycle or product launch strategy is to ensure the successful delivery of the new solution or service. However, before the new system can go live, it needs to be populated with all relevant data and adequately tested to comply with quality risk management requirements. Atos Origin provides specialist technical expertise in the specification and delivery of data migration, software test methodology and test services.
Reducing the risks in data migration
Data migration is much more complex than organisations initially expect or understand. Unexpected problems can derail the application migration completely and flawed migrations cause a significant number of IT projects to overrun.
Atos Origin’s data migration services range from auditing an existing data migration project through to the design of a strategic business migration programme. Our consultants have the business acumen and knowledge to bridge the business and technical gap and bring innovative approaches to detailed migration design.
We take a business-focused approach to ensure that the scope, scale and complexity of the migration programme are clearly understood, along with the real impact on existing business operations. The guiding principle throughout is to minimise exposure to risk or disruption of normal business processes.
The main solution elements are the discovery, assessment and design stages. At each stage we use tightly integrated data profiling, improvement and enrichment techniques to ensure that business-critical data is standardised, reconciled and enhanced prior to migration. The design specifies what and how the data will be consolidated and migrated (data policies, rules, translation mappings) along with the specification for cleansing legacy data and data migration verification.
Following the data migration, the programme closure phase ensures the robustness of the final solution within the operational business environment before the handover to ‘business as usual’.
Test services expertise
To balance the cost, time, quality and risk factors associated with the roll-out of a new telecoms service or solution, Atos Origin delivers a comprehensive test services capability. Our technical test service consultants can manage entire test programs including specialist non-functional testing.
With increasing pressure on time to market and new product development cycles, telecoms operators need absolute confidence that their test processes will enable:
- A reduction in the incidence and number of business-critical failures caused by faulty software
- A reduction in testing costs through the correct use of test resources, tools and methodology
- An optimal balance between cost and time and quality parameters against risk.
Our approach is based on over 30 years’ experience in the successful delivery of mission-critical systems and a total commitment to best practice and robust quality risk management strategies. We have extensive experience in technical test services and software test methodologies supported by independent test tools and a complete network of global resources included fully owned offshore test specialists.
