Novell IT Consulting
Engagement Details
Getting Started in Your Migration
A team of Novell experts will visit your site and, in less than two weeks, deliver the following:
- A high-level assessment of your existing NetWare®, Microsoft Windows and UNIX platforms running file and print services
- A roadmap for moving from your older platforms to Novell Open Enterprise Server
- An installation of Novell Open Enterprise Server for evaluation purposes
Where you are today
During the first phase of this three-part engagement, the Novell team will assess your company’s current file and print infrastructure. This evaluation occurs through facilitated sessions, data-collection templates and individual interviews. The information these processes gather helps the Novell IT Consulting specialists recommend how you can seamlessly transition to the freedom and flexibility of Novell Open Enterprise Server without losing the proven reliability and security of NetWare.
Where you want to go
After the assessment phase, you will receive a summary presentation that:
- Identifies project goals and deliverables

- Outlines future state requirements
- Performs a gap analysis
- Provides an overview of the future state solution, including hardware and software requirements
- Delivers an implementation roadmap for Novell Open Enterprise Server
The essential test drive
In the third phase of the engagement, you can put our suggestions to the test. We will provide you with a pilot installation of Novell Open Enterprise Server on your certified hardware. Specifically, we will install the operating system and file system, show migration tools, configure file and print services, and provide a technical demonstration of product features. Our IT Consulting team will be available to answer your questions and will identify immediate next steps, so that you can quickly gain the benefits of Novell Open Enterprise Server in your production environment.
