Charles B. Fleming, President of LinuxForce said, "Our experience in directing similar moves in the past has demonstrated the critical requirement of extensive detailed planning to execute a trouble free migration for a mission critical `in operation' site." The implementation phase requires an oversite function with LinuxForce staff available to resolve unexpected occurrences, to keep the move on schedule and insure that server functionality is restored in a timely fashion.
