Transition Management

In times of change, sustaining trusted information can be a challenge. Focus' expertise with the IBM toolset helps clients adjust responsively to business and technical changes alike.

We assist our clients by planning and executing those inevitable changes to the Business Intelligence and Information Management environment: Software Version Upgrades, Platform changes, Core Systems Replacement, Business Continuity Planning, etc. For example:

Transitions should be carefully planned to minimise disruptions and other risks. A Transition Review and Transition Plan can be important first steps for such transitions.
Expertise at key stages in the transition process can minimise and manage risk during transition.
New infrastructure and/or architecture can be planned to optimise performance and reliability.
Data migration services can maintain data availability.
Expertise in Data Quality Audits, Data Profiling and Business Modelling can also provide assurances in times of transition.

Common business scenarios such as acquisitions, mergers, core system replacement, business process change, industry adjustments can mean that the enterprise often needs to rapidly assimilate and work with new forms of data, organised, classified and sourced in different ways.

Indeed, in these scenarios, the Business Intelligence and Information Management infrastructure can make unique contributions to the business’ capacity to deal with change gracefully.
