[ CHALLENGE ]

After years of use, this organization's Hitachi Asset Suite environment carried a significant number of customizations, custom reports and integrations to other business systems, built up across several versions.

Upgrading raised the usual questions: which customizations would still work, which reports and integrations would need to be rebuilt, and how to reach a current, supported version without disrupting day-to-day maintenance and operations.

[ SOLUTION ]

Trinoor's Asset Suite team assessed the existing environment before any upgrade work began.

The approach covered:

  • Full Inventory
    Every customization, report and integration cataloged and assessed as keep, retire or rebuild.

  • Staged Execution
    The upgrade was planned and run in stages, with integrations and custom reports retested at each one.

  • Change Management
    Training and change support were provided to end users ahead of go-live.

  • Simplification, Not Lift and Shift
    The upgrade was used to retire unused customizations and streamline the ones that remained.

[ RESULTS ]

Supported

Current, vendor-supported Asset Suite version
