Database Migration Process

The database migration process starts by completing the Database Migration Questionnaire (Below) to identify the scope of the migration and assess the qualifications/capabilities/interests of Bull (or our partners).

Typically the data migration process then continues with:

• Running analysis tools on customer schema.
  • Determine the extent of the initial conversion
  • Evaluate the current conversion tools
• Teleconferencing with the customer.
  • Ascertain the amount of training and testing
  • Determine whether the customer wants to have Bull:
  • Do the full database migration, application modifications and acceptance test; or Provide customer training only, with follow-up consultation
• Proposing the pricing and timeline (SOW).
• Documenting the project plan.
  • Describe the customer's timeline
  • Define the work to be done, the priority, and the schedule
• Building the new database.
  • Migrate the schema and stored procedures
  • Populate the new database (with real data or customer-created test data)

• Modifying the customer's applications where necessary.
  • Done in partnership with the customer
  • Modify SQL statements only (no modifications to business logic)
• Performing the acceptance test and checking test results.
• Completing the Integration.
  • Do load leveling and disaster recovery
  • Help the customer move the remaining applications to the new system
