TFS to Azure DevOps Migration Services

Move from on-premise Team Foundation Server (TFS) to Azure DevOps and save time and money

---

Many organizations who adopted Team Foundation Server for their DevOps have realized a lot of benefits from implementing TFS. By streamlining application development, testing and operations, these organizations improved the image of Information Systems Department in the eyes of their business units.

By implementing TFS These organizations had to go through the pain of making sure that their TFS implementation is in a "Healthy State". This presented a lot of challenges, but these challenges were taken for granted. Until now.

We went through two TFS upgrade cycles: One from TFS 2010 to TFS 2013 and now from TFS 2013 to TFS 2017. The cost of the upgrade, incorporating the new features and the hardware requirements went exponentially high between these upgrades. We needed this move to Azure DevOps to address all these challenges.

Challenges with On-premise TFS Implementations

While it is necessary to keep the on-premise implementation of TFS in a healthy state, there are many challenges:

• Scalability: On-premise TFS implementations can only scale up to the size of their hardware infrastructure.
• Patch Management: It is necessary to make sure that all updates are applied to the platform in a timely manner.
• Latest Features: The on-premise implementation would not have all the latest features and capabilities. It would be necessary to upgrade the platform to the latest version in order to gain access to these new features.
• Access to Cloud Services: On-premise TFS implementations would not make the most out of the Cloud Service offerings.
• Employee Access: Employees have access to TFS only while on-premise.
• Partner/Vendor Access: With on-premise TFS implementation, it is difficult to provide access to your TFS Platform.

Our TFS to Azure DevOps Migration Approach

Preparation

Our team helps you understand how ready are you to adapt to Azure DevOps. We start with the assessment of your current TFS Platform, Active Directory, SQL Server and SharePoint. Furthermore, your current Active Directory is reviewed and compared to the Azure Active Directory requirements. At the end of this activity, a report is delivered with the results. the end

Upgrade

Based on the results of the Preparation Phase, Active Directory and TFS are upgraded to one of the supported versions while still on-premise. If the upgrade fails for any reason, the issues are fixed the operation is retried until successful.

Migration

Working closely with your team, our team of professionals will implement the migration based on a plan shared with the rest of the concerned personnel. Once the migration is declared successful, the on-premise TFS is decommissioned and users may switch to Azure DevOps.

SharperSkills^® Azure DevOps Training

Your team will need to be trained on how to use the features and capabilities of Azure DevOps. We offer a hands-on, no-slides, practical training on Azure DevOps called SharperSkills^® Azure DevOps Training. It's a 5-day, instructor-led training. This training uses a Virtual Machine equipped with all the software necessary to work on Azure DevOps. Every attendee of this training will get a copy of this virtual machine, as well as a full-color printed User's Manual.
