Patent ID: 8869136

Claim:
A computer-implemented method for calculating migration points total for migrating an application in an information technology (IT) environment, comprising: at least one computer calculating a set of qualitative data migration points for the application, the set of qualitative data migration points being a function of at least one of the following: operating system migration points, code migration points, database migration points, software migration points, or middleware migration points; the at least one computer calculating a set of quantitative data migration points for the application, the set of quantitative data migration points being a function of at least one of the following: production points, code synchronization points, testing and system interface points, or subject matter expert (SME) points; the at least one computer calculating the migration points total based on the set of qualitative data migration points and the set of quantitative data migration points, the migration points total indicating a complexity of migrating the application from a first system to a second system; and the at least one computer performing the migration of the application based on the migration points total.
