Case Study: EDMC (US private post-secondary education chain) achieves 100% accurate HP ALM-to-TFS data migration with Kovair Software QuickSync

How Kovair QuickSync Helped EDMC in Data Migration Project

EDMC, one of the largest private post‑secondary education chains in the US, needed to migrate hundreds of thousands of QA records from HP ALM to Microsoft TFS (Visual Studio Team Foundation Server) after internal process changes. The migration was complicated by fundamentally different data hierarchies, attachments and linked defects, and the need for real‑time validation and data integrity, so EDMC engaged Kovair Software and its QuickSync product for a cost‑effective automated solution.

Kovair Software deployed QuickSync on EDMC’s server, used codeless mappings to align HP ALM projects, entities and fields to TFS, and automated the transfer of test plans, suites, cases, steps, attachments and linked defects while providing monitoring, logs and retry capabilities. The Kovair Software implementation migrated 32 HP ALM projects to TFS within a month, achieved 100% migration with zero‑tolerance failures, and delivered measurable benefits in speed, accuracy and ease of monitoring and rollback.
