    Help Desk Migration
    Any time you have a complex migration project where losing critical data isn't an option. We previously used Help Desk Migration to migrate from Salesforce Service Cloud to Zendesk, and after a seamless migration, they were the perfect partner to enlist for the migration to Odoo Helpdesk. If you need reliability, structured mapping, and a communicative team to guide you through the process, this platform is for you.

    Information Server is extremely useful to replace manual developments that require a lot of coding effort. It significantly increases the productivity of the initial development and the future maintenance of the processes since it has a visual development environment with self-documentation.

    • I would be nice to have a new web development environment for DataStage.
    • Connectivity Packs such as Pack for SAP Application are a little pricey.
    • It is confusing for new developers the possibility of developing jobs using different execution engines such as Parallel or Server.

    Usability
    Help Desk Migration
    Overall, the service is very easy to use. The only hang up I ran into was that it's difficult to avoid re-running the demo once the demo is complete and you're ready to look at the full migration options.

    Mainly used vendor PS teams and individual consultants in the past plus some more enterprise-gearer ETL platforms. Relokia's Help Desk Migration service beats them all by a massive margin due to low cost, high speed and low complexity

    Return on Investment
    Help Desk Migration
    • In terms of time spent, Help Desk Migration cut our time down to just a fraction of what it would have been had we migrated the articles ourselves. This saved us a tremendous amount of time, manpower, and overtime.
