  • Remove unused code.
  • Code patches on target system to retrofit customization made in source system that were missed during the migration and adding customization.
  • Handle existing system features like Data Areas, Data Queues to place them and maintain from the target system.
  • Reusable parts identification, redesign & enhance old architecture.
  • Interfaces redesign.

4. Data Migration - Active & Archive

  • Target system database architecture, normalization of DB tables.
