Prolifics have a wealth of experience of IBM’s automation product suite.
Keeping software at a supported version is vital to your business. Having upgraded IBM App Connect Enterprise for multiple customers, we understand the importance of getting it right the first time.
Acknowledging that some of our customers need a more convenient way to make these potentially complex upgrades successful with minimal fuss, Prolifics have created an offering based on our standard methodology for implementing upgrades.
Our ‘off-the-shelf’ upgrade offering can be delivered for under £50k (over 8-12 weeks)*
We can create a bespoke offering to include additional aspects you may require, such functional and non-functional testing, re-engineering for better performance, or any other technical development, for example, migration to Cloud.
*Assuming three non-production and one production environment. A discovery call is required before a contract is created.
The Fastest Route to IBM ACE
Upgrade Your Software Using our Phased Approach
Inception
We will scope your environment to determine a suitable high-level design for your IBM ACE implementation; guiding a migration plan.
Build
Our trusted team will install the latest version of IBM ACE onto your new environments, as agreed during the inception phase.
Refactor
If your current implementation of IBM ACE has any custom code, we will provide a set of integrations that ensure undisrupted functionality.
Switchover
Your new ACE implementation will be deployed to new environments, followed by stringent integration testing. Prolifics then validate a rollback plan.
Go-Live
Steps in the 'run book' will be followed to switch to the newly installed environment.
Hypercare
Prolifics will provide a complimentary 1 week of 'heightened support' through our expert managed services team to ensure performance.
A Complete App Connect Enterprise Upgrade Service
Modernise with Prolifics
Our IBM ACE migration service utilises the information we gather about your organisation’s implementation to create a bespoke migration project plan that will upgrade your systems from its current version to the latest vendor supported version; this can be conducted as a fixed price or as a ‘time and materials’ project if preferred.
The initial engagement will be in the form of a discovery workshop to confirm the nature of your environments and applications which use them. We will then provide a migration proposal based on the information acquired and standard assumptions.
We will deploy a team of experienced IBM ACE engineers to work alongside your IT professionals to build new environments and migrate your applications to use them when your operational schedule allows.
Each environment migrated will be unit tested and time will be included for functional testing to be carried out. A short period of hypercare will also be provided post migration to address any unforeseen issues.
