Dependency and ownership map
Connect source assets, destination requirements and service-owner dependencies, identifying the prerequisites and decision makers that determine whether a planned migration wave is ready to begin.
Capabilities / Infrastructure delivery capabilities
Controlled migration
Move infrastructure through clearly defined decision gates
Migration brings live-service responsibilities into the physical delivery plan. O-Connect coordinates infrastructure change around documented dependencies, phased work and agreed cutover decisions, connecting asset and cable reconciliation with the people who own service readiness. Each wave has a defined starting position, completion criteria and a clear escalation route for unexpected conditions.
The brief
Make each migration wave reviewable
The first task is to understand what the move depends on. Source records, destination readiness, equipment identity and connection requirements must be reconciled alongside the operational constraints of the services involved. O-Connect works with the appointed owners to define the physical scope, identify dependencies and establish which decisions need to be made before each wave begins.
The cutover plan gives those decisions a place in the sequence. Work proceeds within the agreed production window, with acceptance gates and rollback criteria defined by the responsible project and service owners. Execution records capture what moved, what changed and what was verified, while application and data decisions remain explicitly assigned to the relevant technical teams.
Scope & deliverables
What the work covers.
Wave and cutover plan
Organise the scoped infrastructure work into agreed phases and change windows, with task sequencing, handoffs and decision points visible to the field team and operational owners.
Asset and cable reconciliation
Reconcile equipment identity, rack positions and connection records before and after the move, giving the project a traceable account of the physical changes made during migration.
Rollback and acceptance gates
Record the agreed rollback criteria, decision authority and acceptance requirements for each wave, ensuring the migration team understands when to proceed, review or invoke the approved plan.
Delivery approach
A clear path through the work.
Establish source and destination readiness
Review the physical inventory, available dependency records and destination conditions with service owners, then identify the confirmations required before a migration wave can be authorised.
Agree the controlled sequence
Build the wave plan around approved windows, task ownership and rollback decisions, reconciling the physical work with application, data and network activities owned by other teams.
Execute and accept each wave
Record the scoped move and its completion checks, review the acceptance position with responsible owners and update the physical records before the next agreed migration stage.
At handover
A migration record that supports every decision
Each migration wave has a documented scope, readiness position and completion record, with the physical changes connected to operational acceptance. The project can see which dependencies have been met, who owns the next decision and how the installed environment now relates to the agreed destination plan.
Define your acceptance criteriaPlanning questions
Before the work begins.
Does a controlled migration avoid all downtime?
Service impact depends on the architecture, migration scope and approved cutover approach. Expected interruption and protection requirements must be agreed with the service owners. The migration plan coordinates the physical work around those decisions and the authorised production windows.
Who decides whether a wave proceeds or rolls back?
The project appoints decision owners and agrees the criteria before execution. O-Connect coordinates and records the scoped field activity, while service and technical owners assess their respective acceptance conditions and authorise the relevant next step through the agreed cutover process.
Does the scope include application or data migration?
The core capability concerns infrastructure execution and its dependencies. Application and data activities need explicit ownership in the migration plan. Their timing and acceptance requirements are coordinated with the physical work, and any additional delivery responsibility must be defined in the agreed scope.
