Planning

Planning service
Yes
How the planning service works
Cloud based data migration is a key component of any successful cloud adoption strategy. This service enables the data migration to be planned and executed by applying the latest tools, techniques and best practices to meet the client's migration needs. Operational cutover and/or parallel running needs critical planning to ensure that the customer's data remains governed and their core applications function seamlessly during the migration window. We support both phased and big bang data migration approaches and will recommend the best approach for any given set of needs.
Another critical aspect of maintaining data in the cloud is ensuring that your underlying data management platform software remains current by applying the latest upgrades and patches. This activity is critical for ensuring that your data remains secure. The service will enable the planning and execution of all data related upgrade activities.

Quality assurance and performance testing

Quality assurance and performance testing service
Yes
How the quality assurance and performance testing works
Quality assurance is a critical component of data migration. Proven techniques are used to ensure that all data is migrated successfully. Further and more rigorous quality assurance techniques are brought to bear in phased migrations to ensure both source and target systems maintain coherent and robust data images.

OUR SOCIAL VALUE COMMITMENT
We support and deliver across all identified areas of Social Value. We have provided below an example for Fighting Climate Change.
Our Social Value typically has two components:
1-Reducing the greenhouse gas emissions of clients’ in house software development/support teams.
2-Training technical teams in ways of working that reduce GHG emissions.
Below is dependent on the size/scope/length of the engagement:
ACTIONS WE WILL UNDERTAKE
• We typically start with a one-day workshop to 1) Define what sustainability is in terms of software development/support. 2) Agree what can be measured, monitored and improved. 3) Produce a comprehensive Social Value Plan outlining our actions.
• We use Cognizant's Carbon Footprint Calculator to measure and report on the IT team’s baseline emissions, using energy as a proxy. This data drives action planning and progress tracking.
• If appropriate, our specialists conduct in-depth assessments of existing services/ways of working and identify areas where environmental impacts can be reduced. This process aligns with the Greenhouse Gas Protocol Product Standard and ISO/IEC 21030 standards for software measurement. We will assess ideas such as 1) cloud migration (eg optimised scalability). 2) Cloud native design (eg microservices and containers). 3) Green software design (eg code that minimises resource usage)
• If appropriate, we host workshops to discuss findings and agree changes in ways-of-working.
SUSTAINABILITY PRINCIPLES
We typically run sprints to test changes and measure improvements. We agree ways to integrate these techniques into business as usual.
EMBEDDING THE PRINCIPLES
We train client’s staff in the new ways of working by a blend of joint working, training sessions, and an on-line Sustainability Guide which will cover best practices for sustainable design, development, and operations. We periodically meet with the client to encourage continuous improvement through a blend of refresh training and challenge.
