This means the upgrade can be completed without interrupting operations
An upgrade from an existing IX12 environment to IX25 usually affects more than just a software version: system architecture, interfaces, individual applications and dependencies on third-party systems must be taken into account without disrupting ongoing operations. The IX25 Evolution Workshop offers a structured introduction to this.
Step 1: Take stock of the initial situation
In the first step, the initial situation is completely recorded. The consulting team then compares the existing system with IX25 and evaluates what can be adopted directly and where adjustments are necessary.
Step 2: Strategy for parallel operation
A central result is often the recommendation of parallel operation: IX25 runs in addition to the existing system, while new use cases are gradually relocated to the new platform and proven processes initially remain on IX12.
Step 3: Risk analysis and use case identification
In the third step, technical, professional and operational risks are analyzed, in particular the specific challenges of parallel operation such as double data storage or a more complex interface landscape. Building on this, the workshop identifies use cases that can be implemented on IX25 in the short term.
Results and next steps
At the end, companies receive an overview of the procedure, a target image and an action plan for parallel operation, the definition of a suitable pilot project and an initial cost estimate.
