We all know the repercussions of relying on an outdated, legacy system Vs. a cloud-based ERP System to manage business data. If you rely on legacy systems, you may miss out on the benefits of a next-gen, cloud-native ERP system like Odoo. Considering an Odoo migration process can provide significant advantages, ensuring your business leverages the latest technology and features.
Alternately, if you are a current Odoo User but use its older versions, then you may know that as per their updated policies, Odoo will only provide support to Odoo 14 & above.
Moreover, an older version becomes slow and ineffective over time. To unlock higher performance, interactive UI, enhanced security, knowledge app, improved accounting functionalities, etc., you must consider newer versions like Odoo 16, which is more cost-efficient and feature-rich than its older counterparts.

Migrating your ERP system to Odoo can provide greater flexibility, improved customer service, and a more modern, user-friendly platform. While the cost of migration and data cleanup may seem daunting, it’s important to remember that the benefits of a new system can outweigh the upfront costs in the long run.
And hence it’s important to work with a trusted partner who can guide you through the process and ensure a seamless transition. We are an official Odoo Partner, and here is the step-by-step process of Aktiv’s Odoo Migration.
Aktiv’s Odoo Migration Process
System Audit and Assessment
Firstly, we assess your current environment and ERP/Legacy System. Then we see how much data you would need in the newer version; check with your team to see if there are any module or studio customizations you’d like to go with etc.
Migration Estimation
Accurate estimation ensures that the migration project is completed on time, within budget, and with the desired level of quality. This involves identifying the modules, functionalities, and data that need to be migrated to the new Odoo version.
We assess custom modules, reports, and workflows that need to be migrated, and we check their availability in the newer versions of the Odoo apps.
Pre Migration Checklist
Then we work according to a Pre-migration checklist suited to your business wherein we make a list of all the modules, customizations, and third-party integrations you have and ensure you have a backup.
A compatibility check is what comes up next. Then we create a test environment & Mock Migration to ensure everything is working as expected.
Later, we recommend you notify your users about the migration process and downtime that may occur. This is followed by quality assurance and modification based on feedback.
System Configuration
We check the configurations of the OS, Servers, DBMS, users and their access rights, Company Property, Report Layout, Mail Templates etc., to make sure it’s compatible with the new version of Odoo.
We check your existing add-ons, customizations & Integrations to make sure they’re compatible and if you may need to update or modify these to work with the new version of Odoo.
By checking these system configurations before the migration, you can avoid potential issues and ensure a smoother migration process.
Migration Implementation
After having decided on the type of migration- Open Upgrade or Manual Script and having run the mockup migration, the step that comes up next is the Final Migration.
With the client feedback and amendments made as per the mockup release feedback, we schedule a final date and time to Go Live, alongside real-time testing in the production database along with a complete QA.
