Case Study

In this case study activity, you will perform scholarly research and create a formal APA style paper on the topic of transitioning from old business processes and information systems to new business processes and information systems through the process of utilizing a Migration Plan.

A migration plan begins with a conversion strategy to determine the style of the switch from the old to the new system, what parts of the organization will be converted when, and how much of the system is converted at a time.

Next, a business contingency plan is developed to address how to handle any potential business disruption due to technical problems during the conversion.

Arrangements for the hardware and software installation and decisions about how the data will be converted into the new system are made.

The final major segment of the migration plan involves helping the people who are affected by the new system understand the change and motivating them to adopt the new system.
