Business Basic Linux Migration

A controlled path forward

Move eligible Business Basic workloads to supported Linux platforms with attention to printing, file paths, permissions, communications and operations. The work begins by identifying the operating environment, application dependencies, data structures, user workflows, integrations, reporting requirements and the business processes that cannot be interrupted.

Typical priorities

• Linux migration
• Business Basic on Linux
• Server modernization
• Unix to Linux migration
• Source-code and data-file inventory
• Risk and compatibility assessment
• Documentation of critical workflows
• Phased implementation and testing

Modernize in stages

A practical project may first stabilize the current runtime and server, then improve backups, printing, remote access and documentation. Later phases can add GUI improvements, SQL reporting, APIs, web access or replacement modules. This reduces disruption and produces useful results sooner.

Protect the business knowledge in the system

Legacy applications often represent years of refinements made by users, developers and management. Successful modernization preserves those rules where they remain valuable and changes only what is needed for supportability, security, usability and growth.
