Setup and migration

Setup or migration service available
Yes
How the setup or migration service works
Having operated a dedicated private cloud hosting environment for 10+ years we have carried out many migrations across multiple platforms. For users who already have a preferred public cloud provider, then we have also designed multiple solutions based on Azure and AWS environments depending on the clients requirements.

Quality assurance and performance testing

Quality assurance and performance testing service
Yes
How the quality assurance and performance testing works
As part of any migration to Cantarus we can, optionally, conduct a solution health-check on any existing Umbraco website. The goal of this is to gain an understanding of the work that has been undertaken to take and gauge the quality of design and development that underpins the website.

Broadly, we undertake three distinct processes in order to migrate a customer to Cantarus support. A suitable analogy is that of assessing the car before buying it. Three key questions a discerning customer might ask are:

1. Are there any underlying problems under the bonnet?
2. Is it intuitive to drive and operate?
3. What is the process for purchasing?

These naturally link to the following three areas when operating in the domain of a digital solution.

Code Review
Wherein we have access to the solution’s codebase, a Senior Developer or Consultant will review the code. This process involves a structural review and a code-style review.

Solution Suitability Review
Following the main code review, we conduct an overall suitability review. This allows us to determine if the solution presented to us is a good fit for the problem being solved.

Migration Plan
We design a migration plan unique to your environment.

How the support service works
Our Client Success and Infrastructure Services Teams provide a dedicated pool of resources for managing your Umbraco hosting environment and web applications. This team is made up of a number of experienced support engineers, infrastructure specialists and developers, who are all focused on providing exceptional levels of support to our client base.

Our, optional, Timebank support is an extremely popular support model with our clients as it provides a clear, predictable and flexible support package covering user/operational support, and technical support as well as development and creative design professional services.

The Timebank model requires a client to purchase a set amount of time per month, with that time going into the Timebank and having a lifetime of three months. Clients can then draw down on that time (the oldest time is always consumed first) as required.
