CHALLENGE

Addressing Complex Migration Needs from DOORS NG to Codebeamer

The customer, a leading player in the consumer electronics industry with 61,000 employees, faced the daunting task of migrating approximately 30 million items from IBM DOORS NG to Codebeamer. The absence of a consistent and automated migration process posed significant risks, including potential data integrity issues and operational downtime. Ensuring a smooth transition without disrupting ongoing operations was a critical challenge that required a robust and reliable solution.

SOLUTION

Proof of Concept with AroMigrator (from DOORS NG to Codebeamer)

To tackle this challenge, Arorian Technologies demonstrated the capabilities of AroMigrator through a Proof of Concept (POC):

1. Proof of Concept (POC) for Automation:
• Conducted a POC to showcase the feasibility and effectiveness of automating the migration process.
• Adopted an incremental migration approach during the POC to highlight how minimal downtime could be achieved, ensuring client operations continued smoothly.

2. Data Integrity and Performance:
• Demonstrated how AroMigrator ensures data integrity and high performance through detailed reporting.
• Showcased the tool’s ability to efficiently handle large data volumes.

3. Customizable Data Transformation:
