Technology Investment Optimization

Returns from technology investments belie expectations for most organizations due to several reasons. NIVID offers three services that can help you get more out of your IT budget in the short term:


Application Portfolio Analysis is an “expedited” methodology that utilizes a set of proprietary tools to identify rationalization opportunities and recommend strategies to optimize the application portfolio. The solution also provides a “dashboard” with pre-defined metrics that helps in establishing mechanisms for ongoing governance of the portfolio.
Securities firms are required to upgrade their business critical Order Management Systems frequently - a task that is highly resource intensive because of the extensive testing and validation required. Our automated system for Accelerated Deployment of Changes to Order Management Systems is an intelligent regression test automation that enables speedier, more reliable and cost-effective testing.
Linux Migration provides clients with the roadmap and tools to help migrate current proprietary operating system/ platforms to LINUX-based platforms in a phased and calibrated manner. Our approach leads to minimization of risk without sacrificing performance, security and scalability.

Windows Migration from Novell – Why should you seriously consider?

Organizations that have migrated to NetWare 4 or 5 but did not migrate further need to seriously evaluate the option for Windows migrations, because they will need to migrate to NetWare 6 to gain access to any of the future Novell versions, and NetWare 4.x will reach end of life March 2005. Organizations still using NetWare 3.x will also find that the migration path to Windows Server 2003 is equally as easy.

In the next version of Novell, the operating system will no longer be NetWare; it will be Novell on top of Linux. As a result, organizations with existing versions of Novell will not be able to easily upgrade to the next version; they will have to build the Linux infrastructure and then migrate to the new version. While this is similar to the process to move to Windows, tools for migrating from NetWare to Windows, such as Microsoft Services for NetWare (SfN) and Quest NDS Migrator, have been developed and proven in countless real world environments.

With the change to the base Novell operating system, upgrading will require organizations to support three operating systems: Novell, Linux, and Windows. (Pure Novell environments are rare. Increasingly Windows NT or Windows 2000 has already been introduced into Novell environments to host applications and services.) Maintaining Novell and Linux along with Windows increases administrative and training requirements. In addition, resource availability becomes an issue, as it is difficult to find engineers that are well versed in all three operating systems.
