For the MaintMax Database Project, the project team and stakeholders have completed their requirements gathering activities. As this is a small to moderately sized project, and will be completed internally with no contract or external support, the list of requirements is very specific and manageable. The following list represents the requirements necessary for successful implementation of the MaintMax Database Project:. IT Projects are, by their nature, highly technical and challenging endeavors.
This is especially true for new systems being implemented to replace older systems. As part of implementation planning, there must be a back out plan to revert to existing systems and processes should the implementation of the new system fail.
While troubleshooting is conducted to determine the problems, operations must continue. This portion of the Implementation and Migration Plan describes the back out plan that will be executed should the implementation fail. During planning for the MaintMax Database implementation a risk was identified that the new database may fail once it goes live on Ace Corp. To mitigate this risk the project team has developed a back out plan to allow the maintenance group to continue operations should the MaintMax launch fail.
As the data capture task is conducted, all maintenance data will be updated for both the MaintMax Database and the legacy maintenance database. The legacy database will remain on the maintenance servers until MaintMax Database implementation and operational acceptance are complete. If MaintMax is launched and encounters any problems or failures, the IT Group will immediately remove access for all operational maintenance technicians and restore access to the legacy database.
This will allow maintenance operations to continue while troubleshooting and additional testing are conducted on the MaintMax Database. It is extremely important that successful implementation of the project is verified. This verification may take many forms and use many different methods. Here, the Implementation and Migration Plan should describe how successful implementation will be verified so all project team members and stakeholders understand what constitutes successful implementation.
Once the MaintMax Database is implemented, several steps will be taken to verify successful implementation. First, operations managers will ensure that all maintenance technicians have access to the database to perform assigned maintenance activities. Once this is verified, managers will ensure their maintenance technicians check their ability to perform all assigned functions in the MaintMax Database and that the correct permissions and activities are in place.
Finally, maintenance managers will query and run all assigned metrics and reports to ensure all required capabilities for the MaintMax Database are met. Upon completion of these activities, maintenance managers will meet with the project team to review all verification activities in a final verification that implementation requirements were successfully met.

The amount of data that could be lost or corrupted when the transfer goes wrong can be hard to retrieve. Here are the steps in doing a data migration: 1. Determine the data format, sensitivity and location Look through your files and see the data format, its location and sensitivity before transferring it to another storage. This helps you identify the potential risks that can harm the files in the transferring process.
You also have to determine how the file would be recognised once it is transferred. You can also read quality project plans. Have a plan You must have a detailed plan and a reasonable budget to execute the plan. State how much money you need in the data migration plan and do everything you can to stick with the budget. Provide the scope of the plan as well. Give a flexible timeline for the project to be completed. Take note of some considerations such as the downtime of the system when the migration process takes place.
Give alternative solutions in case downtime happens. Have a backup of all the data Before transferring all the data, you need to make a backup of all of them. This makes the data easy to restore when it gets corrupted while being transferred. You may have multiple copies of your data but you can use it in the future.
What is a Server Migration? Take advantage of new technology or better service , or to ensure that the operating system OS and the hardware beneath it stay up-to-date with current technology. Move to the cloud for increased flexibility or scalability. To economize and consolidate hosting and reduce CapEx. Replace aging infrastructure at the end of its lifecycle. To expand and distribute hosting to help reduce load at a single point and achieve high availability.

Think about site editors, administrators, developers, visitors or end users, and your hosting provider s. Assess Data Fidelity. What is the quality of your data in your old server? Are there a lot of static files, or dynamic databases?
Do you have a data governance plan in place to ensure measurement, tracking, and better decision making during the migration process? TIP: Make an external backup of your entire website before migration. That way, you can rest easy knowing that you have a copy safely stored in the event of a problem.
Data Transfer. Are all parties on the same page regarding when data transfer will take place? Is there a clear POC at your old hosting provider and at your new hosting provider?
Are there any major initiatives or high-traffic events planned during or around the planned migration timelines? TIP: Let anyone with access to the site know when the migration is going to happen and how long it is expected to take.
Key Questions to Consider During Testing. Have you verified appropriate request responses for APIs between applications and servers? In multi-server setups, are public and private traffic moving along the appropriate networks? Are your site s or application s performing as expected? TIP: Reference your previous site and server during the testing process to see if anything looks off or incomplete. So long as the prior server was functional, it can provide a good road map for what your website should look like in its early life on the new server.
Sometimes, existing site issues can be uncovered during migrations! Do you have a backup, reversion, or correction plan in case something goes wrong? In the event of an issue with the change, your DNS provider will already be advised that a migration is in progress, and be more able to jump in and help. Avoid the following during server migrations:. Avoid scheduling a move immediately before a critical period for your business , such as Black Friday for an online retailer, to prevent a situation in which a minor problem needs to be fixed in an unrealistic time frame and becomes a major disruption.
