Achieve Better Outcomes: 360Suite methodology reduces costs and shortens timelines
by up to 80%, ensuring cheaper, faster, easier, and more successful phased cloud
migrations.
Benchmark Performance: By comparing the execution times of identical reports run
on-premise and in the cloud, 360Suite identifies performance issues so they can be
resolved.
Inspire Confidence: 360Suite automates regression testing to ensure that migrated
documents display accurate information (data, images, look and feel) and are embraced
by end users.
Safeguard Sensitive Data: By keeping regression testing in-house, 360Suite protects
sensitive data (e.g., financial, medical, personnel) and facilitates regulatory compliance.
