Who should be involved in planning a migration?

    Successful migration planning requires input from multiple stakeholders across technical, business, and financial teams. Exalate's role-based access structure and collaborative features make it easy to involve the right people at each stage of the transition.

    System Administrators Lead the Effort

    System administrators who currently manage your integrations should spearhead the migration. They understand existing integration requirements, configurations, and sync workflows. The unified console displays user management options alongside workspaces and settings, making it straightforward to coordinate team access and assign roles during transition.

    Technical Teams Handle Configuration and Testing

    Integration specialists, script developers, and quality assurance personnel need direct involvement. They'll work with Groovy scripts, TestRun validations, and versioning features to ensure configurations work correctly before deployment. Exalate enables collaboration via comments during setup, allowing team members to discuss decisions and review changes within the platform itself. This ensures script logic, error handling, and sync rules are validated by the right technical experts.

    Business Process Owners Align Requirements

    Representatives from both sides of each integration should participate in planning. Since Exalate maintains autonomous control on each side, stakeholders from different departments or organizations need to align on sync requirements, field mappings, and workflow rules. Teams managing product development, cloud operations, support, and other functions should collaborate on integration specifications to ensure business processes sync as expected.

    Security Teams Review Access Controls

    The authentication framework no longer requires admins to have system credentials for login, which changes how access is managed. Security teams should review these updates and ensure the new role-based access structure aligns with your organization's security policies. Exalate maintains ISO certification, role-based access control, and encryption of data both in transit and at rest.

    Financial Stakeholders Evaluate Pricing

    Finance teams should assess the subscription-based pricing model to determine the most cost-effective plan during renewal. Integration-based pricing differs from previous models. Organizations choose between Starter, Scale, Pro, or Enterprise tiers based on active items in sync and required connectors. Understanding these options helps ensure budget alignment.
