Setup and migration
Setup or migration service available | Yes |
How the setup or migration service works | SystemsUp would need to understand the requirements and business outcomes prior to any setup or migration. We'd then undertake a discovery exercise, as this would provide invaluable insight into the organisational challenges and a snapshot of the current state. Following this, we would undertake the relevant high and low-level designs and create a requirements matrix to ensure that all the requirements were addressed and by selecting the optimal technologies and services. After the designs are approved we would plan the setup of the solution and any relevant testing required. Any migration would be carefully thought out and planned to derisk any potential issues and ensure minimal downtime and disruption to the organisation. Once migration is complete, we can provide early life support, handover to internal or external support teams and any required user and admin training. |
Setup or migration service is for specific cloud services | No |

How the quality assurance and performance testing works | SystemsUp provides a rigorous quality assurance internal review against all project objectives. All solutions are designed in line with industry/vendor design best practices with references included. SystemsUp can further leverage our partnerships with vendors to ratify designs if so required. Depending on the scope of the engagement SystemsUp will fully test the solution against any agreed Test Strategy, the output would be a detailed test report. Any risks that will affect the testing process will be listed along with the mitigation. This will ensure the final solution not only meets the stated requirements but exceeds the project expectations. |
