HCL provides end-to end advisory and implementation services for executing migration programs for its customers. We have rich experience in successfully implementing upgrade and migration programs for diverse customers - by size, complexity and geo spread. HCL follows a proprietary methodology consisting of defined phases to address end-to-end needs of migration and upgrade. This consists of verticalized phases Analyze, Productize, Optimize and Stabilize along with cross-cutting horizontal governance tracks such as Program management, Migration Execution, Technical solution guided with value additions (HCL's frameworks / accelerators), specific solution considerations and an end-to-end change management oversight.
HCL's unique and proprietary Collaboration Adoption Framwork (CAF) has strategic governance guidance to help identify collaboration needs, collaboration maturity (including SharePoint maturity) and can help your organization to define scope and build your strategic roadmap using an automated roadmap generation module. CAF's operational layer focused on SharePoint governance can help productize the vision into a new SharePoint collaboration platform as well as help migrate from older SharePoint portals to SharePoint 2013 (on-premises or SPO).
HCL's rich expertise in executing multiple upgrade and application development projects in the SharePoint space has allowed us to build a rich repository of reusable components. As part of source analysis, HCL 's specific reusable components such as PMA - Pre Migration Analyzer and Farm Scanner can be leveraged.
We have a rich repository of tools, frameworks and accelerators to support core migration and address larger platform and governance needs. Some of our key offerings include CAF - for end to end strategic and operational governance including tools for estimation and capacity planning, Work place Productivity solutions that look at the larger space of optimization, SharePoint mobility framework that provides a RWD and HTML 5 enabled interface for SharePoint sites and reusable components that help as accelerators in implementation.
We execute migration projects in an integrated way where different disparate teams collaborate to address various challenges and needs that typically arise in end-to-end migration programs. The core implementation teams consisting of developers, migration analysts, project managers, architects and UX designers are guided along the journey by SME's from the SharePoint CoE / Service Line and our infrastructure services' teams support in case of infrastructure needs. Additionally, our ASM expertise and proprietary frameworks e.g. (ALT ASM) provide the requisite rigour to successfully address support and maintenance needs.
Yes. We have a focused UX practice that specifically addresses UI needs and challenges by leveraging their rich experience across multiple UX facing projects. The focus is on enabling RWD and leveraging JS frameworks to ensure a richer UX for traditional SharePoint pages. We also have a SharePoint mobility solution that can be used for experiencing an app like user experience in mobile devices from traditional SP2013 on-premises or O365 SPO sites that provides touch, drag, tap and hold and flipboard experience on SharePoint.
Change and Program management needs are addressed as horizontal cross cutting initiatives - part of the over all migration methodology consisting of Analyze, Productize, Optimize and Stabilize phases. Program management typically consists of aspects such as roadmap planning and ramp-up, communication management, stakeholder expectation setting and factory model rollout. Change management and adoption initiatives are guided as part of our CM framework that provides specific guidance across project phases.
HCL has successfully executed O365 migration programs for global customers across various GEO's. Our customers' needs have ranged from migrating 25 TB of data to transformation and "Appi-fication" of target O365 platform to value- additions like metadata driven information architecture and in all cases our implementation teams guided by experienced architects have had successful implementations. Detailed cases can be referred under the 'Experiences' section.
HCL has different pricing models and is flexible to the needs and requirements of the customer. Typically, in case the scope can be well defined, a fixed price based model is leveraged, while certain customers like to retain control where a T & M based model is used. We also utilize a catalogue based pricing model where there are elements of transformation and leverage a core-flexi resourcing approach to address complex migration programs. Our migration SME's would be able to work with you to understand your needs and suggest the best approach
