Everyone expects upgrades to just happen overnight. We plan, test and execute the Team Foundation Server upgrade outside business hours, so there is no impact to the team. If something goes wrong, we’ll roll-back to your previous platform till the issue is resolved.
Unsure of the latest features in TFS? We can demo what’s new and discuss how it can benefit your implementation. We can assist with migration and upgrades for the following scenarios:
- move across Active Directory domains or consolidate multiple TFS Server instances into Azure DevOps
- migrate from other platforms like JIRA, Perforce, HP Quality Center, ClearQuest, ClearCase, Mantis, VSS, etc. to TFS
Our typical engagement takes 2 to 4 weeks [duration] and can be done onsite or remotely.
Planning
We'll review the current Team Foundation Server platform and recommend the optimal hardware topology for the new platform. We will also create a Disaster Recovery Plan, just in case.
Dry-Run
We'll execute a dry-run upgrade in a sandbox environment. The team will have a chance to review and validate the new platform before the live upgrade.
Live Upgrade
The new Team Foundation Server will magically replace the old one overnight. All users will receive instructions if they need to perform any additional configuration on their computers and a TFS expert will be ready if any questions arise.
