Migration Solutions

Reduced total cost of ownership, greater lifecycle management

Borland’s Migration Solutions help customers successfully transition their projects to Borland solutions with minimal downtime and greater security at a lower total cost of ownership.

Most enterprises have an existing development infrastructure that supports the ongoing development projects and initiatives. Borland recognizes that the project assets – requirements, code, test plans, etc. - stored in this infrastructure represent substantial intellectual property that has been created over the years.

Borland offers a comprehensive set of migration solutions that address the extended software development lifecycle and help enterprises successfully transition their existing projects to the Borland platform. The key areas addressed by these solutions:

  • Software Configuration Management – Migrating to StarTeam®
  • Requirements Management – Migrating to CaliberRM™
  • Design and Analysis – Migrating to Together®

These solutions comprise a proven methodology that has been successfully applied in a large number of customer situations across several industries, geographies, and technology environments. The methodology is complemented by special-purpose utilities that have been developed by the Borland Consulting Organization to facilitate migration from the leading solutions in each product category.

Borland also understands that a successful migration needs to go beyond just data and documents and must reflect the characteristics of the underlying organization – processes, skills, structure, culture, and more. The methodology explicitly addresses these issues to understand root causes of past challenges and points of resistance to prior deployments through structured assessments. Coupled with a detailed examination of the existing projects, this understanding is translated into a detailed roadmap for deploying the Borland solution.

'70 percent [of respondents] say their companies have duplicate, deficient or obsolete applications in the infrastructure -- and the problem is even more serious in larger companies with revenues over $500 million.' --  BPM Forum 2004
