How to Migrate from Micro Focus ALM to Micro Focus ALM Octane

Micro Focus ALM to Micro Focus ALM Octane Migration

Micro Focus has built ALM Octane on an entirely new platform with different database schemas and using different methodologies and this fundamental difference between these two systems has brought in challenges for users planning to move from Micro Focus ALM to Micro Focus ALM Octane. The biggest challenge that a user faces while moving from Micro Focus ALM to Micro Focus ALM Octane is to maintain complete audit traceability of data. However, with compliance regulations in most industries becoming stringent, losing historical data is no more affordable. Therefore, solutions that migrate only current data from Micro Focus ALM to Micro Focus ALM Octane no more suffice the needs of most organizations. Other requirements such as: need for a hard cutover, migration of huge volume of data & user profiles, or keeping both systems in synchronization for as long as needed make it difficult for organizations to choose a solution that doesn’t have comprehensive synchronization abilities.
