Xuber Upgrade Services
Upgrade your systems to Xuber with
confidence.
Providing certainty of timescales,
results and costs, Xuber Upgrade
Services ease the pain of migration.
We know that your business can’t afford to put the brakes on. That’s why when the time comes to upgrade your system, accuracy, speed and ease of transition are critical. It’s vital that your operations continue to run seamlessly while changes happen, but moving from one system to another is often fraught with unwelcome delays and unforeseen costs.
With over 30 years of experience in the insurance software business, Xuber provides solutions and services to 130 carriers and brokers in 40 countries worldwide. Having successfully completed over 160 implementations globally, we understand the common barriers that often plague migrations. Xuber Upgrade Services will help you tackle the challenges of data migration head on.
Addressing the challenges of data migration
• Risk: You need to maintain day-to- day
operations while making strategic changes.
• Time: You have deadlines and
expectations to meet and need data
migrations to happen on-time.
• Cost: You need data migration projects to
be delivered on-budget, without any
unforeseen costs.
Faced with these challenges, it’s no wonder
that data migration is a notoriously tough
undertaking.
That’s why we offer Xuber Upgrade Services
which encompass Xuber Upgrade Studio and
the Xuber Upgrade Methodology, a proven
approach that will enable you to manage the
complexities of data migration and system
upgrades with ease.
What is the Xuber Upgrade Methodology?
Whether your business is upgrading from
an existing Xuber software solution (e.g.
Iris or Genius) or migrating to Xuber from
a third party system, the Xuber Upgrade
Methodology will smooth the transition so
you can carry on with business as normal.
• This proven, single-solution delivery
methodology provides a recognised,
scalable approach to system upgrades
based on best practice, consistency
and reducing risk - from the first point of
customer contact to going live with your
new Xuber solution.
• Using the Xuber Upgrade Methodology,
we will work with you to determine
the scope of an upgrade to the Xuber
platform assessing the impact of changes,
identifying configuration settings,
determining test requirements and
supporting you on the ground to perform
the upgrade.
• Our migration specialists have extensive
experience in handling upgrades, and
you’ll be involved throughout the
process - from scope definition through to
deployment – giving you the confidence
and results you need to upgrade with ease.
What is Upgrade Studio?
As an integral part of Xuber Upgrade Services,
Upgrade Studio is an application to control
and automate the migration process, from both
existing Xuber systems and third-party systems
to the Xuber platform. Upgrade Studio assists
in three ways, enabling customers to analyse
source data, plan a migration and then manage
the migration process.
Xuber Upgrade Studio:
Is a technology solution designed to
minimise risk and reduce uncertainty.
• Included with the Xuber platform.
• Designed to eliminate the need to develop
bespoke migration routines.
• A reusable, simple yet powerful tool that
can be deployed by you to take control of
your own upgrades.
How does Xuber Upgrade Studio work?
• Upgrade Studio uses the relevant adapter
for your source system to ensure alignment
with your new Xuber solution.
• Upgrade Studio makes sure that, once in
a suitable format, all your data is validated
in the new Xuber platform. This is done
through a full value mapping facility
validated against a checklist.
Your job is hard enough without having to spend countless hours trying to shoehorn data into a new system. We understand that your priorities pivot around reducing risk, time and cost:
