Convert to a Modern Workload Automation Platform
Migrating from a legacy scheduling tool is probably the most complex project undertaken in a scheduling environment. Speed, efficiency, and accuracy are of primary importance in this effort. The task can be daunting without prior experience and skills in both environments.
Let CFS Consulting design a solution to successfully migrate to the workload automation platform of your choice, whether that's BMC Control-M, Stonebranch UAC, or another leading solution. CFS' unique blend of skills, multiple scheduling environment experience, tools, and specialist migration engineers will help mitigate the risks in a highly complex project.

Conversion Methodology
Environment Assessment
This initial assessment prevents the conversion of inaccurate data by allowing database cleanup and problem resolution to occur, and enables the data center to begin the conversion process.
Installation / Technical Training
This effort is comprised of installing the components required for the new platform on customer systems and running multiple parallel tests. At this point we recommend that client administrators receive technical training to ensure these skills are transferred.
Job / Workflow Conversion & Migration
Conversion can be phased or a complete conversion can be executed to the client's requirements. First the job definitions are converted to the new platform's task templates and migrated, then the platform is tuned to meet customer specifications.
Testing
Once the conversion is complete, the old and new environments are tested in parallel. Running the two mirrored environments ensures zero impact to the production environment, and issues can be identified and remediated outside of the live environment.
Activation
After a final check confirms the new environment is running correctly, the data center should switch from the old environment to the new platform.
