Migration Planning
Whether you decide to go with an Ellucian product or with another third-party solution, make sure your project scope addresses key migration factors to ensure a smooth transition for both the institution and your end users. Keep in mind the following criteria:
- Content migration
- User accounts migration
- Impacted Ellucian applications
- Impacted third-party applications
- Impacted customizations
- Technical integration requirements
- IT infrastructure impact (on-premise, cloud, third-party)
- End user communications and migration support needs
Any transition will require dedicated technical and functional resources so don’t wait to get started. Your academic calendar may dictate when this migration can be scheduled, to avoid any undue impact on semester start or end-cycle processes.
