Discovery and Assessment Phase

Our team conducted a comprehensive analysis of the existing TFS 2017 environment, identifying critical dependencies, security concerns, and operational gaps. This thorough discovery phase revealed challenges with administrator access and highlighted the urgent need for system modernization.

Infrastructure Preparation and Migration Strategy

Working closely with the client’s IT department, we architected a robust infrastructure for the new Azure DevOps Server instance. Our approach prioritized security, performance, and long-term maintainability, ensuring a stable foundation for the organization’s development ecosystem.

Complex Migration Execution

The migration process required specialized expertise to handle:

  • Legacy TFVC repository preservation and transfer
  • Database backup and restoration procedures
  • Resolution of version compatibility challenges
  • Administrator access recovery and permission mapping
  • System configuration optimization
  • Data integrity validation

Knowledge Transfer and Sustainable Management

Post-migration, we implemented a comprehensive knowledge transfer program, ensuring the client’s team gained full competency in Azure DevOps Server administration. Our hypercare support period provided additional security while the internal team developed confidence in managing their new system.

This successful transformation demonstrates our expertise in complex ALM system upgrades, ensuring business continuity while modernizing critical development infrastructure.
