Celona partners with Amdocs to deliver business centric application data migration
 
Celona to provide data migration for Amdocs OSS products as part of Alliance Partner Program

London, UK, 17th November, 2008: Celona, the leaders in business-centric application data migration solutions, today announced that it has joined the Amdocs Alliance Partner Program.  Celona’s Evolve platform can ensure that service providers benefit from minimal business disruption as well as faster time-to-value when implementing or upgrading inventory management applications.

Celona specialises in delivering to organisations innovative, business-centric application data migration solutions with zero downtime, through a new, incremental approach that lowers risk and cost compared to traditional ETL (Extract, Transform Load) or manual scripting solutions.  Concurrent migration and synchronisation of data between legacy and new systems enables IT organisations to manage the transformation process and align data migration based on the reality of today’s changing business environments.  When combined with the ability to control which data, users, processes and capability are migrated, and when, organisations now have a 360-degree view and management of their migration programmes and projects.

“Data migration is a key success factor for those organisations whose businesses are subject to change and transformation, or who are upgrading a legacy business application.  With current economic factors driving change across a number of sectors such as Telecoms, M&A activity at high levels, particularly within the financial services sector, and budgets coming under increasing pressure, it is vital that application data migrations are delivered with certainty,” said Charles Andrews, CEO of Celona.  “Celona and Amdocs share the vision that data migration solutions must be agile and flexible enough to enable business evolution and transformation to take place with minimal disruption and risk, while at the same time providing early results and on-time completion. 

Our platform met these requirements, succeeding where traditional ETL solutions could not.

We are delighted to now be part of Amdocs’ alliance ecosystem.  Today’s partnership helps ensure that service providers can solve the business challenges of OSS transformations and upgrades – the complexity and issues that can be associated with large scale data migration projects where data migration, system migration and user migration are inextricably linked, are eliminated with the Celona Evolve platform.”

Celona Evolve’s business centric approach to application data migration enables IT organisations to align with changing business priorities and manage the independent movement of users, data, process and capability within an application data migration project or programme, all within Celona Evolves pioneering zero down-time environment.  Celona Evolve is business orientated, minimises business disruption, reduces time to value, through faster results, and reduces complexity.
