WebSphere Commerce Migration

NetSphere Strategies is a certified IBM eCommerce Business Partner that employes the skill sets to migrate your WebSphere Commerce webstore to the latest release.  Once the initial discovery has defined the scope of work, a budgetary number is supplied and a timeline defined.  A migration can take a few weeks or a few months dependent upon the following factors:  (1) the older the version, the greater the effort;  (2)  the more site customizations, the greater the effort;  (3) migrating from one platform (OS/400) to another (Linux);  (4) migrating from an Express version to an Enterprise version;  (5) the more webstores or micro-sites to migrate, the greater the effort;  (6) moving from a standalone to clustered topology, the greater the effort.

The key point to remember in a WebSphere Commerce migration is that there is no cookie-cutter plan.  Every site is unique and has its own personality.  The key to a successful migration is planning, setting the proper expectations with the client, followed by exhaustive testing and to make sure a contingency plan exists to mitigate against any unforeseen risks.

NetSphere Strategies has developed it's own commerce migration methodology  to compliment the product migration documentation from IBM.  We apply these proven steps that have worked for hundreds of prior migrations, to move your development environment first, the pre-production or test environment second and the production environment last.  Our Team will mitigate your migration risks and increase your chance of a successful migration that is on-time and on-budget.
