Implementation approach

Migrating Legacy Automation Workflows

Xalta’s migration accelerator material reports 3× faster migration versus lift-and-shift, 100% evaluation coverage and zero production regressions at cutover. Its approach combines dependency discovery, conversion with engineering review, comparison runs and controlled release.

Reported Migration Accelerator Metrics

Figures supplied for the accelerator; the comparison baseline and accepted test scope must be defined for the programme.

3×

Reported Migration Acceleration

Reported against lift-and-shift in the supplied accelerator material.

100%

Reported Evaluation Coverage

Coverage refers to the accepted evaluation scope, which must be defined for the programme.

0

Reported Regressions at Cutover

Zero production regressions is a reported source outcome, not an unconditional release guarantee.

Shadow runs

Pre-Cutover Validation

Comparison runs evaluate the target workflow before the agreed release decision.

Workflow context

Workflow and Project Scope

This approach supports organisations consolidating automation platforms, responding to licence changes or modernising older RPA workflows. The starting point is the existing estate, its business rules and the systems each automation depends on.

Assessment establishes the target platform, supported conversion path and engineering work needed for the programme. The scope connects technical dependencies with the business behaviour that must be preserved.

The challenge

Operational Challenges

A successful migration needs to preserve the business behaviour of each workflow, not only reproduce its activities on another platform.

Incomplete Asset Knowledge

Undocumented workflows and dependencies make migration scope difficult to estimate.

Platform-Specific Activities

Packages, selectors and application interactions do not always translate directly.

Unclear Acceptance Evidence

Without representative tests, teams may discover changed behaviour only after release.

Production Continuity Requirements

Business processes still need a clear owner, release decision and recovery path during transition.

The solution

Solution Approach

The methodology separates discovery, conversion, remediation and acceptance so each workflow moves through a defined release process.

Software code on a computer screen

Automated inventory and dependency mapping establish the scope. Supported patterns use conversion tooling, while engineers review unsupported activities and application-specific behaviour. Regression and functional checks support business sign-off.

  • Assessed Automation Inventory

    Record the workflows, dependencies and complexity needed for migration planning.

  • Supported Conversion and Remediation

    Translate reusable patterns and identify the engineering work that still requires review.

  • Validation Evidence

    Compare the migrated workflow against the agreed functional and exception scenarios.

  • Cutover and Support Plan

    Define release waves, operating ownership and the response to issues after transition.

Human Review and Operational Control

Engineers review converted logic and platform-specific changes. Process owners approve the expected behaviour, acceptance evidence and production release; automation does not decide its own readiness.

Implementation approach

Implementation Approach

The approach uses phased assessment, engineering and acceptance rather than a single unrestricted conversion step.

01

Assess and Plan the Waves

Confirm the inventory, target constraints, dependencies and migration priorities.

02

Convert and Validate

Review translated work, remediate gaps and compare the resulting behaviour with the agreed acceptance set.

03

Control the Production Transition

Release accepted workflows in the agreed waves and monitor the operational result.

Platform-Specific Scope

The source and target versions, supported activities, application access and acceptance criteria must be agreed for the actual programme.

Platforms, Technology and Architecture

Platform options and integration layers are selected around the agreed scope.

  • Discovery

    Inventory and dependency mapping

    Creates the assessed source estate and migration plan.

  • Conversion

    Migration accelerator framework

    Applies the tooling supported for the selected conversion path.

  • Target options

    A360 / UiPath / Power Automate

    Examples in the portfolio; a specific target must be selected, not assumed.

  • Validation

    Regression and shadow-run harness

    Compares behaviour across the agreed normal and exception scenarios.

  • Operations

    Cutover and monitoring dashboard

    Supports release ownership, issue visibility and post-transition support.

Reported solution performance

Reported Migration and Release Performance

The supplied accelerator figures are 3× faster migration, 100% evaluation coverage and zero production regressions at cutover. Programme reporting should define the migration baseline, accepted scenario inventory and production observation window before treating those figures as client-specific results.

The reported 3× figure uses lift-and-shift as its reference. Compare equivalent workflow scope and engineering work when evaluating a programme.

Evaluation-Gated Release

Regression checks and shadow runs support a release decision based on demonstrated behaviour and an agreed acceptance scope.
