The NovaQuest Upgrade Assessment is an exhaustive, fixed-fee configuration review of your current ENOVIA implementation that provides a detailed analysis of the effort, scope and complexity of an upgrade to ENOVIA V6.

The NUA consists of an initial pre-engagement request for information followed by three days of on-site evaluation and testing. The primary NUA activities include:

• Review of the DS V6 product mapping from current environment
• Assessment of the latest/current level of release including functional changes
• Discussion of current and future state business processes
• Examination and rationalization of schema changes both current and in V6
• Evaluation of prerequisite code levels and hardware requirements
• Evaluation of code customizations, integrations, and data migration requirements

These NUA activities conclude with a highly detailed report that outlines specific upgrade requirements, recommendations, and an execution plan complete with a detailed work breakdown structure. In particular, the detailed work breakdown structure draws from the expertise of our most seasoned NovaQuest PLM consultants to ensure an efficient, cost-effective plan that minimizes the risk of disruption and unanticipated technical or business obstacles that would otherwise negatively impact your business. Benefits of the NovaQuest Implementation Assessment are:

• Improved visibility and planning related to the cost and effort of an upgrade
• Elimination of potentially disruptive conflicts in product configuration and deployment
• Reduce effort and resource drain involved with system configuration and administration
• Improved performance and service levels of upgraded environment

Execution of the upgrade may subsequently proceed with in-house resource, with the assistance of NovaQuest resources, or in combination. Regardless of the resource utilization you choose, the comprehensive upgrade plan you get from an NUA will help you ensure a smooth transition while minimizing disruption to the business and allowing you to get the most out of new capabilities and functionality of the upgraded product.
