Legacy Environments to Quadient Inspire Migration

Quadient Inspire Conversion Process

Legacy systems may have been a very popular and flexible format that was recognized by many systems from CRMs to CISs to billing software. Today, these systems are not as robust, interactive, or intuitive as Quadient. Macrosoft’s migration begins with a detailed analysis of the current system to identify the reusability of pre-composition and then perform required changes in the client-specific program. If data conversion is required, then we migrate the data to XML.

Conversion Methodology

1. Input Data Formatting – We use a custom-built automation tool for converting the text-based flat file inputs to legacy system to the XML-formatted file for input to Quadient Inspire.
2. Design Element Template – We have developed a set of template checklists that our developers fill out for each legacy application that is up for conversion.
3. Build the Quadient Inspire Application – Quadient Inspire developer uses the templates created under the prior task to build out the Inspire equivalent application.
4. Test the Quadient Inspire output – Our team runs full validations comparing legacy and Quadient Inspire outputs for the same data inputs to detect any discrepancies.
5. Agile for Migrations – We rely on Agile process to review any issues/concerns of the team throughout the conversion process.
6. Project Management – PM holds primary responsibility for all interactions with the client’s team throughout the conversion process.
