Local SEOM to Central Server Migration

What is it?

Your first question might be, what is a local to central server migration?  Simply put, once completed, all of the order processing work  performed by your PCs will be done by one centrally managed computer.  The PCs will no longer run SEOM, but will connect to this central server over the internet.  Once connected to the server, it will look as if their PC is doing all of the processing, but in reality it is doing nothing but connecting to the server that is doing all of the work now.

What are the benefits?

The benefits of this configuration are many and aren't always readily apparent.  Here they are:

Process Orders from Anywhere

Without the need for another computer at the office to connect to (via remote access services), employees connect to a single server running multiple copies of SEOM that each can run independently of each other.  All that is needed is an internet connection and you'll be able to process orders like you are at the office.  There are customers who have over seas employees who access SEOM running on a centrally managed server every day.  It works surprisingly fast and is reliable for them.

 

Process Orders Faster

Servers keep getting faster and more reliable.  One of the limiting factors in performance is network speed and processing power of your PCs.  Since all of the SEOM components are local to a server, the network performance no longer becomes a factor so the speed to your database is lightening quick!  We have heard customers say that when they moved to a central server, SEOM was running so fast it felt like it was on steroids.

 

Maximize Time by Spending Less of it Managing the Network

Having your SEOM on a centrally managed server removes you from having to deal with many of the headaches involved with running a networked application like Stone Edge.  TC can automate and make sure that your backups are working correctly and troubleshoot any issue that comes up on the central server.  For a number of customers, TC is the sole resource used to maintain both SEOM and the central server.

How Long Does the Migration Take?

Not long at all.  There is a customer of TC which called on a Monday morning wanting to move to a central server solution.  By Friday of that week they moved all of their order processing to the server.  Because of TC's strategic relationships with vendors and the standardization of the process, we can move you quick.
