A New Chapter: Supporting a Complex Migration
We have had the pleasure of working with JELD-WEN for quite some time, but over the past six months, we’ve been supporting them with an exciting and challenging endeavor — a major migration project. JELD-WEN is transitioning from Workforce Central (WFC) to Pro WFM, and with a project of this scale, there are many doors to open and windows to navigate!
Complexity Is Behind Every Door
The complexities of this migration stem from the intricate nature of JELD-WEN’s setup: numerous Pay Rules, multiple Accrual Rules, various devices in use, and Employment Terms all add layers to the challenge. But what makes this project truly unique is the fact that JELD-WEN operates multiple European markets within a single tenant. Managing countries like Denmark, Finland, Sweden, the UK, and Hungary under one umbrella requires precision, coordination, and clear communication at every step.
We’re proud to share that Sweden’s migration was completed successfully and with flying colors! We are now finalizing the testing results to present to the client, while migration efforts for other markets are well underway.
More to Come: Phase 2 on the Horizon
This project has been a journey of exciting firsts! We are leveraging TestAssure for automated testing and using Navigator to help migrate data from WFC to Pro WFM — innovative tools that bring efficiency and fresh energy to the process.
Naturally, big projects come with big challenges. But what’s keeping this momentum going is not only a strong partnership with JELD-WEN but also the outstanding dedication of the Simmsociates team. From Project Managers and Solution Architects to Implementation Consultants, Solution Consultants, and Test Consultants, everyone is contributing daily to make this project a success.
And believe it or not — this is only Phase 1! Phase 2 is right around the corner and promises to be just as dynamic and exciting. So stay tuned — more doors are about to open, and more milestones are on the horizon!
