Criterion’s Phased Approach
Criterion follows a structured methodology for IFS Cloud shifts, starting with a full system audit. They plan resources and timelines next, then test in a sandbox to catch issues early. Data migration and validation come last, ensuring zero disruptions during cutover. Assess current setup and customizations.
- Build detailed project plans.
- Run sandbox upgrades and tests.
- Migrate data with checks.
