Turnkey conversion of your Sharepoint-Projectserver environment according following an established and successful method.

C.O.S provides you the experience from all different conversion scenarions. Run this project on time and budget, without stress and unforeseeable downtimes.

We convert also your individual solutions and webparts and get them functioning correctly on the new target environment.

Analysis

The C.O.S Team will investigate your current situation and infrastructure:

  • existing content
  • Projects
  • User profiles
  • Office integration and MS-Project client usage
  • Databases
  • Webparts, enterprise fields and other specific developments or configurations
  • Problems and observations from the past, future plans and Re-Sizing accordingly

Based on this information C.O.S proposes the suitable server-farm-scenario with the corresponding hardware sizing. Of course, we can convert on the existing environment also.

Conversion process

Following our experience, it turns out optimal to run 2-3 test conversions before initiating the productive environment conversion for:

  • Measurement of conversion times and workflows.
  • Discovering potential problems within configuration, content or project data,
  • Run functional testing seperate from the productive environment.

These tasks can be hosted on a C.O.S laboratory environment, if no capacity is available internally.

Sizing

A look at database growth rates, server-logs, measuring response times of the various layers can help to avoid bottlenecks or errors of the past and tailor the environment for ist future workload.

For this purpose, we use the Microsoft sizing guide with our own internally developed tool set.

Your advantages

  • Avoid the tedious collection of knowledge and experience for this one time project situation. Competencies that become obsolete ever after.
  • Rely on the experience of a competent team that has dealed with all scenarios already.

  • Solid calculation of time and budget.
  • Quality assurance: we continue our Standby Support, until no issues from the conversion pop up any more.
