Visual Source Safe to Team Foundation Server Migration
Why Upgrade?
Visual Source Safe was a great source control tool and a popular system to use; it was initially geared for developers or small teams who needed a lightweight, client-only, file server application for source code control only.
As time passed by, a much needed enterprise application life cycle management tool was released by Microsoft, known today as Microsoft Team Foundation Server, or simply TFS. The new technology surpasses the capabilities of VSS; it provides version control, work items management, document management, a build system and tools and metrics for managing and organizing projects.
The key factor is team collaboration; using Visual Studio and Team Foundation Server you can apply proven practices to manage your application life-cycle management, right from requirements through code design and implementation to deployment.
Migration Process
We have a simple upgrade process that we have been using and refining over the years.
Assessment During the Assessment phase we are going to gather the necessary technical information and get familiar with your current implementation of VSS. We are going to work with your team to analyze your current VSS structure and your ALM processes.
Planning In the Planning phase we are going to work with you on designing and implementing your TFS infrastructure, help you configure it or revise your current setup.
Migration During the Migration phase we are going to migrate your existing source code from VSS to TFS. Part of the migration process is to ensure that TFS best practices are being implemented so that you can take advantage of the feature rich platform.
Sustainment The Sustainment phase is additional service that most our clients sign up for, and depending on your needs it can be an on-going service which gives you the peace of mind that we are available to help with TFS.
Why use PRAKTIK?
While the upgrade process has become less challenging, one thing never changed – the complexity of your projects. Our organization was built by providing services around Microsoft Team Foundation Server; we have been helping clients with VSS to TFS migrations since the very first version of TFS (2005). We help make sure that people get the best ALM productivity experience by using Team Foundation Server.
