Experience and certification are key to completing a successful production system migration. Understanding the database layer is as important as understanding the SAP application and effort should be taken regression testing the application and interfaces. Creating a working cookbook and performing as many production system simulation upgrades are also important to reduce the downtime as much as possible over the cut over window.

There can be many different business drives for platform and database migrations; here are some from our customers:

• Reduction in database / OS software maintenance and costs
• Stability issues and platform commonality
• Reduction in system administration costs and effort
• Platform consolidation and refresh / upgrade

Whatever the business driver, CSI can deliver a successful migration both on small and large scale landscapes, across different platforms and databases including designing and architecting the target solution.
