Xuber Upgrade Services

Upgrade your systems to Xuber with

confidence.

Providing certainty of timescales,

results and costs, Xuber Upgrade

Services ease the pain of migration.

We know that your business can’t afford to put the brakes on. That’s why when the time comes to upgrade your system, accuracy, speed and ease of transition are critical. It’s vital that your operations continue to run seamlessly while changes happen, but moving from one system to another is often fraught with unwelcome delays and unforeseen costs.

With over 30 years of experience in the insurance software business, Xuber provides solutions and services to 130 carriers and brokers in 40 countries worldwide. Having successfully completed over 160 implementations globally, we understand the common barriers that often plague migrations. Xuber Upgrade Services will help you tackle the challenges of data migration head on.

Addressing the challenges of data migration

• Risk: You need to maintain day-to- day

operations while making strategic changes.

• Time: You have deadlines and

expectations to meet and need data

migrations to happen on-time.

• Cost: You need data migration projects to

be delivered on-budget, without any

unforeseen costs.

Faced with these challenges, it’s no wonder

that data migration is a notoriously tough

undertaking.

That’s why we offer Xuber Upgrade Services

which encompass Xuber Upgrade Studio and

the Xuber Upgrade Methodology, a proven

approach that will enable you to manage the

complexities of data migration and system

upgrades with ease.

What is the Xuber Upgrade Methodology?

Whether your business is upgrading from

an existing Xuber software solution (e.g.

Iris or Genius) or migrating to Xuber from

a third party system, the Xuber Upgrade

Methodology will smooth the transition so

you can carry on with business as normal.

• This proven, single-solution delivery

methodology provides a recognised,

scalable approach to system upgrades

based on best practice, consistency

and reducing risk - from the first point of

customer contact to going live with your

new Xuber solution.

• Using the Xuber Upgrade Methodology,

we will work with you to determine

the scope of an upgrade to the Xuber

platform assessing the impact of changes,

identifying configuration settings,

determining test requirements and

supporting you on the ground to perform

the upgrade.

• Our migration specialists have extensive

experience in handling upgrades, and

you’ll be involved throughout the

process - from scope definition through to

deployment – giving you the confidence

and results you need to upgrade with ease.

What is Upgrade Studio?

As an integral part of Xuber Upgrade Services,

Upgrade Studio is an application to control

and automate the migration process, from both

existing Xuber systems and third-party systems

to the Xuber platform. Upgrade Studio assists

in three ways, enabling customers to analyse

source data, plan a migration and then manage

the migration process.

Xuber Upgrade Studio:

Is a technology solution designed to

minimise risk and reduce uncertainty.

• Included with the Xuber platform.

• Designed to eliminate the need to develop

bespoke migration routines.

• A reusable, simple yet powerful tool that

can be deployed by you to take control of

your own upgrades.

How does Xuber Upgrade Studio work?

• Upgrade Studio uses the relevant adapter

for your source system to ensure alignment

with your new Xuber solution.

• Upgrade Studio makes sure that, once in

a suitable format, all your data is validated

in the new Xuber platform. This is done

through a full value mapping facility

validated against a checklist.

Your job is hard enough without having to spend countless hours trying to shoehorn data into a new system. We understand that your priorities pivot around reducing risk, time and cost:

With Upgrade Studio routine data is automated, allowing more time to focus on complex data. The task of migrating complex data is often underestimated causing projects to run over time and budget. Upgrade Studio provides certainty of timescales and simplifies the move to the Xuber Platform.
