Key Challenges Faced
The challenges faced by the company before they decided on an Odoo 11 to 19 migration.
Outdated Odoo Version
Odoo 11 is quite outdated, and there were numerous features that were missing from this version that are present in the latest versions. The company wanted to upgrade to the latest version in order to get the best out of Odoo.
Limited Scope For New Customizations
EnviroControl relied heavily on the Odoo 11 customizations to manage its business processes. However, the older platform was also the cause of difficulty in accommodating future customizations and less adaptability to the evolving market.
Risk of Weekday Business Disruptions
An unplanned migration could cause a system disruption and hinder the operations of regular as well as custom models. No business can afford such a situation on a weekday. They wanted a proper strategy regarding the migration.
Years Of Business Data To Protect
Their Odoo 11 environment stored every aspect of their business, including regular records such as projects, customer leads, sales orders, and accounting. Any kind of loss or errors in data could affect them and their customers directly.
Tailored Workflows at Risk
EnviroControl was dependent on the custom models, and migrating to a newer system meant risking these specialized workflows. Even a small gap in the connectivity between these models meant losing their established working procedure.
Solutions Offered
To solve these challenges, Softhealer performed the Odoo upgrade from Odoo 11 to Odoo 19 with proper data mapping and cutover.
Odoo 11 To Odoo 19 Data Migration
- Data was mapped from Odoo 11 to Odoo 19, taking deprecations and replacing models into account. Hence, the business data was transferred to the new version.
Custom App Upgrade
- Upgraded EnviroControl's custom apps to be compatible with Odoo 19, allowing workflows to continue working for the business.
Near-Zero Downtime
- Conducted the final live migration in 48 hours over the weekend. Therefore, the migration never affected any regular business operations.
