- Client had 2300 small and large applications
built on disparate platforms ( MS Access97/Lotus
Domino/Client Server) which needed to
be migrated to Windows XP platform
- The existing database could not meet
the rapidly growing demands of storage,
added security, and enhanced performance
The Key Drivers

view to a customer centric view
- Emphasis on standardizations to meet
the rapid growth in businesses across
LOB’s
- Scalability from the perspective of
expansion and M&A

- Created a comprehensive solution blueprint
in line with client’s process model
- Cognizant proposed to execute the
migration of the 1800 MS Access applications
with specifically defined activities
and deliverables
- Cognizant proposes a tool based solution
on .NET platform to port the existing
front end of MS Access 97.This porting
is being executed in steps to mitigate
the risks.

- Effective testing of applications
by business users facilitated by the
phased delivery approach
- Prioritization of applications to
avail the high priority applications
earlier than the low priority applications.
- Cross training of client’s team, to
develop subject matter experts and to
reduce dependency
- Reduced risks due to early risk identification
in the initial phases and robust project
planning to mitigate them.
