Using gmSudio, Great Migrations provided initial development in implementing an automated, incremental, and repeatable upgrade solution. This included the development of a .NET-based API for developing custom upgrade solutions and gmStudio enhancements to integrate this approach. GM presented the custom solution to the customer in an intensive 2-week onsite training workshop. Subsequently, GM supported the Project Team and helped them become self-reliant in enhancing the solution for both the WPF upgrade and many other custom upgrade features.
Great Migrations would like to thank our partners at HighTechValue for giving their expertise, motivation, and commitment to customer satisfaction without which this effort could not have been a success.
