System Migration Planning and Implementation

CherryRoad has a rich history of helping clients migrate from legacy systems and vendors to state-of-the-art technology platforms. This includes working with them from inception through the detailed planning phase, implementation, and "go-live" as well as providing ongoing support afterwards. Our experience encompasses clients who are growing rapidly through multiple and even simultaneous mergers and acquisitions as well as those who are restructuring or downsizing, decide to change platforms or move to a hosted solution, or simply require a technology upgrade. Regardless of the reason for migration, CherryRoad's expertise enables organizations to maximize resources and leverage the efficiencies of common platforms.

In addition, our Technical resources provide a critical role in migrations and implementations by serving in the following capacities:

  • Technical Developers – our developers follow CherryRoad’s structured methodology in the areas of customizations, interfaces, reports and conversions. Their goal is to ensure that all system modifications minimize the impact to future upgrades, thereby lowering the total cost of ownership of the system.
  • System Administrators – CherryRoad has experienced resources with unparalleled expertise in system installations, domain configurations, database administration, performance tuning, platform migrations and system upgrades.
  • System Architects – we offer unparalleled system architecture services that have a 100% track record of success, as evidenced by our many customers currently experiencing high availablity and optimal performance with their production systems.

About Fusion Middleware

Fusion Middleware is Oracle’s Service-Oriented Architecture solutions bundle that serves as the foundation for enterprise integration. It enables systems interoperability by leveraging existing applications running on multiple platforms and providing a common services-based communication. It also provides components for all server tiers to address user interaction, application development and business analytics functionality.

Oracle Fusion Middleware involves careful architectural planning to ensure that disparate systems, both internal and external to the organization, can share information. This requires a comprehensive infrastructure design that incorporates security, scalability and redundancy.

CherryRoad can help you design the appropriate hardware environment to support SOA by enabling services-based integration across domains in a secure and reliable manner. Our approach to Fusion encompasses all tiers of the Fusion stack, from Portal to Oracle 11g, and with different applications from Identity Management to Business Intelligence.
