Digital Migration in Practice

Each block has its own nuances when switching to alternative solutions. The most noticeable part is the user part, which is also the easiest to replace. For example, Russian office software and video conferencing systems (VKS) are not fundamentally different from foreign ones in terms of user experience, so many people start switching to new software at this level.

The situation is more complicated with content writing service corporate and system software. Companies are often forced to use products even after licenses expire, because preparing and implementing such a migration becomes a multi-stage process.

To make the transition with minimal impact on production operations, it is necessary to use the resources of integrator companies that already have such experience and that have a clear picture of the diversity of products existing on the IT market.



The natural reaction of any person to a new tool that looks different from the one they are used to working with is rejection. But only if it is inconvenient. That is why custom software developers in Russia pay a lot of attention to UX/UI design – designing user interfaces in which convenience is as important as appearance. In addition,

Regular feedback from customers is the main signal for vendors

The interface may differ from previously installed products, but if it is user-friendly, the adaptation process will not be painful, because each of us periodically updates various programs on smartphones and PCs.

Thus, on the one hand, customer expectations are often too high, as they want to see familiar and understandable functionality in new systems, on the other hand, there are tasks that must be solved in the near future to ensure the operability of the infrastructure:

Compatibility so that various domestically produced products do not conflict during operation (an operating system with virtualization or office software with leak protection tools). It is also necessary to be able to implement an ecosystem at the enterprise and ensure the interaction of heterogeneous solutions.
A clear software development plan is a known schedule of updates and fixes, since everyone has different requirements. For example, users need familiar tools, and system administrators and the IT service need a free help desk. Therefore, having a product development plan will allow you to implement the transition step by step with the least impact on work processes.
Support – availability of several levels of technical support and a clear partner authorization system.
The requirements of regulators concern systems that ensure safety and enterprise management.
Flexibility is the ability to adjust products to the company's requirements, rather than reformatting the production process to the software requirements. Flexibility is built into the design stage of solutions and must take into account many parameters.
