Enterprises today face regular migrations of the IT environment. As development continues and new versions of software and hardware are released, the IT environment has to be updated regularly. But IT migration projects are expensive and involve substantial risks. They are also very personnel extensive, involving resources from employees, desk side technicians and help desk agents. Nearly all steps in a traditional user migration process are manual and many of them repetitive, and need to be carried out on every computer that is migrated. The best way to decrease migration cost and minimize the risks is to automate steps in the migration process.

A new era in IT migrations is now here with tools that can automate many processes that so far have had to be carried out manually. Migration automation is today one of the key components of a successful migration. The Tific Migration Suite is a migration automation and self-service solution for IT migration projects. It automates many steps in the traditional IT migration process, thereby reducing both the costs and the risks involved. The Tific Migration Suite can automate steps in all stages of a migration.

How it works:

Tific Ready™ - Assists the employee in going through the necessary steps before the migration.

Tific Ready assists the employee in going through the required actions before the migration can take place. Tific Ready can automatically perform many of those actions, such as saving all relevant files and user settings on a central server. Finally it verifies that all actions have been successful and sends a signal to the administration that the computer is ready for migration. All conditions and actions are dynamically changeable and can be different for each department.

Tific Steady™ - Assists the employee in going through the migration.

Tific Steady makes the migration significantly easier by automatically carrying out many steps in the migration process. Tific Steady is run either by the employee or by a desk-side technician. Steps that can be carried out automatically are i.e. restoring files and shortcuts, configuring personal settings, installing printers and configuring Outlook. By using Tific Steady in the migration, both risks and employee downtime are minimized.

Tific Go™ - Automatically configures and assists the employee in getting started with the new environment.

Tific Go helps the employee to get started with the new environment. It assists in making personal adjustments and guides, tailored to the employee's specific configuration, and explains differences from their previous environment. Tific Go includes an intelligent self-service and support automation solution that assists the employee if issues arise. Tific Go analyzes the employee's situation, and based on the history of other employees it suggests actions for solving the issue. The company decides what actions Tific Go takes, and with Tific Go, they have a powerful tool for automatically distributing upgrades and changes.
