Notice Title

Professional services to upgrade OpenText Content Server

Notice Description

OpenText Professional Services to upgrade of the current v10.5 Content Server Solution including Custom Modules to the latest version i.e. Content Server 23.2 . Following a design phase, services will be upgrading Development, Test, Pre-Production and Production environments. No additional licenses are purchased. Additional information: FSCS considers these services additional deliveries by the original supplier which are intended as the extension of existing supplies or installations where a change of supplier would oblige the contracting authority to acquire supplies having different technical characteristics which would result in incompatibility or disproportionate technical difficulties in operation and maintenance. Upgrading from version 10.x to 23.x through a two-stage process due to age of the version, requires additional migration servers to be built to support the upgrade. As the owner of the software and incumbent support supplier, OpenText have specialist knowledge of the customised product and the supported upgrade path. Custom modules have been developed to support bespoke FSCS requirements that also need to be migrated in a risk-free process.
