1.2 How PlateSpin Transformation Manager Solves Your Transformation Problems

PlateSpin Transformation Manager brings together all aspects of planning into a transformation methodology that is:

Each workload transformation plan identifies the current and future environment for each workload, including the hardware, applications, and other dependent resources that must be in place for a successful cutover to the target workload. You manage and track progress for each workload independently through all phases from import to completion. You can also track cumulative metrics for each batch, wave, and project.

The planning features are flexible. You can create custom resources for each project, and add custom fields to track information important to you. With powerful forms for search and bulk actions, you can efficiently organize workloads into batches and waves, and apply the same settings on multiple workloads at a time.

Planning involves more than the IT staff who performs the technical work. You can assign permissions for key stakeholders to monitor the project status and reports. Keeping interested parties involved with data migrations helps minimize or eliminate potential conflicts for the execution of transformations.

The PlateSpin Transformation Manager Web Interface and database are designed to manage up to about 500,000 transformations across multiple organizations and projects, while protecting the security and confidentiality of their data. The organizations can be the end customers of providers, or different departments in an enterprise. User roles and the related permissions control the actions and visibility of information for users.
