Hello, and welcome to the Avanade Advisor, our forum for sharing the tips, best
practices, and other advice from our technologists to our colleagues and
customers in the Americas.
In this issue, we take a hard look at the challenge of platform migrations.
There a variety of reasons why customers will elect to migrate to a new
platform-the need to integrate legacy applications, the end-of-life of a
current platform, and many others. But what exactly are the benefits? And, how
can one mitigate risks and ensure migration success?
Our technologists look at these questions in light of actual migrations
performed in the areas of Notes-to-Exchange and VB6 to .NET, and share their
tips, best practices, and lessons learned. The articles include tips for
deciding when migrations are necessary, recognizing benefits, applying best
practices for successful execution. Each includes a real-world example of these
migrations in action with our customers.
You'll also find out how Digonex Technologies teamed with Avanade to develop
"Nabit", which is a dynamic pricing application built in Windows that
revolutionized eBay. Looking to the future, we take a look at the changed face
of Reporting Services in SQL Server 2005, and how it can deliver a powerful
Business Intelligence solution.
Thank you for your time and interest. As always, we look forward to receiving
your comments or story ideas - simply send as an e-mail to
editor@avanadeadvisor.com.
