Great Migrations provided initial development, training, and support for using gmSudio to implement an automated, incremental and repeatable upgrade solution. This includes developing a .NET-based API for developing custom upgrade solutions and gmStudio enhancements to support this new approach. GM developed the initial integrated, build-complete upgrade solution and presented this to the customer in a 2-week onsite training workshop. Subsequently, GM provided remote support to the project and helped the customer become self-reliant in enhancing the solution for the WPF upgrade and many other custom upgrade features.
