History Migration Support and Consulting Packages


Overview:

Inobits has designed two (2) migration service packages to assist customers with the execution of a migration. The level of the migration package is determined based on criteria that will affect the migration effort such as (1) complexity of the environment, (2) number of processes, (3) number of forms (4) technical environment etc.

Inobits follows a proven methodology when executing a successful migration process:

K2 Migration Consulting

  • This level is aimed at the high end corporate/enterprise installations and would cover the following scenarios:
  • K2 servers clustered or non clustered
  • Workflow processes that need custom code changes – examples 1) to make required code changes in ASP.net 2) InfoPath changes & BizTalk orchestration 3) custom code in process definition 4) code changes to web services
  • Complex and various workflow processes, utilizing custom coding throughout. Potentially heavy dependence on external processes (SharePoint, BizTalk)
  • Inobits Migration Packages available Level I – Basic Level II – Advanced Customized complex migration
    Criteria This level is aimed at smaller companies or limited K2 installations (e.g. departmental) and would cover the following scenarios:
    • Non clustered K2 server
    • Workflow processes that do not need custom code changes - examples 1) to make required code changes in ASP.net 2) InfoPath changes & BizTalk orchestration 3) custom code in process definition 4) code changes to web services

    Disclaimers
    • Requirements for Technical Personnel.
    • Our personnel must be given Administrative access to all new and old Servers before arrival.
    • It is strongly recommended that our personnel be given Domain Administrator access. If this is not possible, we need to have reasonable access (approx. 1-2 hours per day) to a domain administrator for network tasking during the course of the migration, Domain Administrator will be asked to configure new Service Accounts for K2 blackpearl™ as well as Configure Authentication and Authorization in the network for all services which K2 blackpearl™ depends on.
    • All servers with production code, processes, process instances, etc. must have full backups done prior to arrival or we are not responsible for lost data.
