Migrations

We have invested over 6000 developer hours and set up a team of specialists to assist our customers currently using the Netmedia Learning Platform to migrate to itslearning

What can I migrate from the Netmedia Learning Platform?

If you are currently using the Netmedia Learning Platform (also known as MySuite), we can now automatically migrate:
  • Users
  • Groups
  • Email and contacts
  • Old email addresses
  • MyClasses pages
  • MyDesktop Properties (most types)
  • MyPortfolio pages
  • MyBlog entries
  • elf content

Major Migration Projects

Since we started the migration programme in the Autumn of 2009, we have how completed migration projects for all schools using the Netmedia learning platform in the following local authorities:

  • Hull
  • NE Lincolnshire
  • Portsmouth
  • Wakefield
  • Herefordshire
  • Stockton-on-Tees
  • Middlesborough
  • South Tyneside

During December 2010 we started the first migrations in which we moved mail from the MyMail system on the old platform to the new Microsoft live@edu service integrated within it's learning. We have now activated Microsoft live@edu for the first 45 schools in central Bedfordshire on their new platform. We will be featuring our full single sign on integration with Microsoft live@edu during BETT 2011 at Olympia, London January 12th-15th.

What is involved?

We are the only company to have successfully managed large scale platform migrations involving large numbers of schools.  Having migrated nearly 700 schools in the last year, we now have proven processes to manage your migration.

With large scale projects involving all or many schools within a Local Authority, we kick things off with a series of planning and consultancy sessions to develop the project plan.  We then ask the LA and schools to complete paperwork that gives us your specific requirements and all of the details we need to implement the migration.

We then run a series of pre-migration meetings with groups of schools to take them through the process and provide an overview of it's learning to enthuse teachers.  All that the school needs to do is to ensure that the Netmedia learning platform is tidied up with any unwanted content users and mail removed prior to migration day.

Depending on the migration option you go for, there may be a few days of downtime on the Netmedia learning platform while migration takes place and then we release your new it's learning VLE to you.  Training is then key as we provide full instruction both on it's learning and also where to find your migrated content and how best to utilise it within the VLE
