Project Summary

POSSUMUS supported a telecommunications company (IPLAN) in migrating a system from .NET with an Oracle database to Microsoft SQL Server and implemented CI/CD in Huawei's public cloud. They established the migration framework, developed execution software, and provided a dedicated team. Ninety percent of the user history was migrated, with full migration targeted for January 2023, leading into an evolutionary maintenance phase. Communication channels included Microsoft Teams and Redmine.

Project Solution

POSSUMUS was selected for their extensive experience and infrastructure to support development, DevOps and ITSM needs. Their scope included a takeover (synoptic view of project, architecture and code), validation of migration effort estimates, and a working agreement involving stakeholders. They developed a one-shot software process to execute prioritized backlog tasks for the migration and then transitioned the platform to an evolutionary maintenance process. A dedicated team carried out the work.
