Reported Migration Acceleration
Reported against lift-and-shift in the supplied accelerator material.
Implementation approach
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 against lift-and-shift in the supplied accelerator material.
Coverage refers to the accepted evaluation scope, which must be defined for the programme.
Zero production regressions is a reported source outcome, not an unconditional release guarantee.
Comparison runs evaluate the target workflow before the agreed release decision.
Workflow context
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
A successful migration needs to preserve the business behaviour of each workflow, not only reproduce its activities on another platform.
Undocumented workflows and dependencies make migration scope difficult to estimate.
Packages, selectors and application interactions do not always translate directly.
Without representative tests, teams may discover changed behaviour only after release.
Business processes still need a clear owner, release decision and recovery path during transition.
The solution
The methodology separates discovery, conversion, remediation and acceptance so each workflow moves through a defined release process.
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.
Record the workflows, dependencies and complexity needed for migration planning.
Translate reusable patterns and identify the engineering work that still requires review.
Compare the migrated workflow against the agreed functional and exception scenarios.
Define release waves, operating ownership and the response to issues after transition.
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.
How it works
The stages below show the intended implementation path.
Collect the supported source assets, configuration and process ownership.
Asset discoveryIdentify applications, packages, credentials and data needed by each workflow.
Dependency assessmentApply the tooling appropriate to the selected source and target platforms.
Conversion frameworkResolve unsupported activities and confirm the required business behaviour.
Engineering reviewRun agreed regression, exception and comparison checks before acceptance.
Test and shadow-run harnessRelease the accepted wave and monitor the agreed production behaviour.
Cutover dashboard + supportImplementation approach
The approach uses phased assessment, engineering and acceptance rather than a single unrestricted conversion step.
Confirm the inventory, target constraints, dependencies and migration priorities.
Review translated work, remediate gaps and compare the resulting behaviour with the agreed acceptance set.
Release accepted workflows in the agreed waves and monitor the operational result.
The source and target versions, supported activities, application access and acceptance criteria must be agreed for the actual programme.
Platform options and integration layers are selected around the agreed scope.
Creates the assessed source estate and migration plan.
Applies the tooling supported for the selected conversion path.
Examples in the portfolio; a specific target must be selected, not assumed.
Compares behaviour across the agreed normal and exception scenarios.
Supports release ownership, issue visibility and post-transition support.
Reported solution 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.
| Workflow measure | Reference workflow | Reported solution approach | Reported solution metric |
|---|---|---|---|
| Migration speed | The source compares the accelerator with a lift-and-shift migration approach. | The supplied material reports migration at three times the speed of that reference approach. | 3×Reported Migration Acceleration |
| Evaluation coverage | Unspecified test scope makes it difficult to establish which behaviours have been checked. | The supplied accelerator material reports complete coverage of its evaluation scope. | 100%Reported Evaluation Coverage |
| Cutover quality | Behaviour differences can remain undetected without agreed comparisons and release checks. | Evaluation-gated cutover and shadow runs support the zero-regression result reported in the material. | 0Reported Regressions at Cutover |
| Validation approach | Teams may rely on conversion completion without comparing representative behaviour. | Shadow-run and evaluation evidence supports engineering and business acceptance. | Shadow runsPre-Cutover Validation |
The reported 3× figure uses lift-and-shift as its reference. Compare equivalent workflow scope and engineering work when evaluating a programme.
Regression checks and shadow runs support a release decision based on demonstrated behaviour and an agreed acceptance scope.
