The document discusses migrating from ARIS 7 to ARIS 9. It describes that the migration will include assessing readiness, installing ARIS 9, enabling users through training, and analyzing and migrating existing custom solutions. It provides details on each step, such as conducting a technical assessment, developing an upgrade roadmap, offering delta and standard training, analyzing scripts and automated views, and updating custom scripts. The document emphasizes that the underlying ARIS 9 architecture has significantly changed, so the migration will be done in a controlled process through multiple releases to ensure all scenarios are covered.

3. ARIS 9 readiness assessment
The underlying technical architecture of ARIS 9 has
changed significantly compared to older versions.
Therefore it will be rolled out in multiple releases to
make sure that all potential scenarios are
covered and existing content and customized solutions
can be migrated at the right time.
•
Assessment of existing ARIS installation (ARIS 7.x
products, technology, ARIS DB setup,
customizations, content, scripts, reports..)
•
Development of a high-level upgrade /
installation roadmap
•
Determination of system requirements (hard-ware,
software, physical databases, network connectivity,
etc.)

5. Existing custom solution analysis
Migration is an important topic for a BPM / EAM program
that wants to upgrade to ARIS 9. This includes not only the
basic configuration, users and databases, but also all
custom reports, semantic checks and macros that were
developed for the program.
The existing custom solution analysis covers:
•
Analysis of existing scripts and automated views
•
Upgrade path (or replacement if functionality is
standard in version 9)
•
Specification document & effort estimate
•
Development and deployment plan
