WFT is committed to ensuring that after a migration,
your SAP System continues to be a stable product with
high availability and security and sufficient
performance for everyday business. Therefore, an
indispensible requirement for the OS/DB migration is
that you secure the services of a certified NetWeaver
consultant who has obtained the specialist
qualification for the performance of database and
operating system migrations. WFT have certified and
experienced consultant dedicated for OS/DB
migrations.
Migration Planning and Preparation
The Preparation phase in the migration process is to
take detail action on all aspects of migration
planning. We can provide you with resource planning,
budgeting, project plan and time frame to ensure
successful completion. We assess that all of the
necessary technical prerequisites including Hardware,
Operating system, Database and SAP software. We
assist you to co-ordinate with SAP support and
contract team to receive software and support for the
migration project.
“Proof of Concept” (PoC) System Migration
This phase starts with migration of the “proof of
concept” test system. The PoC migration process
involves performing a test migration of the production
environment to the target platform and applying all
fixes required to prepare for migration of the other
systems in the landscape. It is during this phase of the
project that the key business processes and interfaces
are tested to ensure operability and that the
functionality works correctly. If there are fixes
required due to OS/database platform changes, they
are implemented and tested during this phase of the
project.
If there are other non-SAP components like Job
Scheduling, EDI, Tax software (Vertax/Taxware/BSI),
Output Management, Faxing and Monitoring/Capacity
tools requiring migration as well, these need to be
carefully researched and planned for during the
migration. WFT have deep understanding of SAP bolt-
on systems and their migration along with SAP OS/DB
migrations.

Non-Production System Migration
After the “proof of concept” test system is migrated
and the technical functionality of the system has been
proven, all systems in the landscape will be migrated.
Throughout the process of migrating additional systems
the processes are refined to streamline and ensure
success during the cutover of the production system.
Before we proceed to the Go-Live phase, we make sure
we provide complete documentation on process and
procedure for the migration and we receive full
customer approval.
Final Migration and Go-Live
In this phase the migration of the production database
and all dynamic data of SAP Production systems,
interfaces and add-on systems are carried out. All
changes and fixes are applied based on previous
migration cycles. The functional team checks the
system to ensure it is operating correctly. Once
agreement that the system is operational the system is
released to users.
Post Go-Live Support
WFT team will assist customer with post-go live tuning.
After going live with target production system, we
schedule post go-live migration check with SAP support
and assist with implementing recommendations from
SAP support.
