Ready to Reduce Operational Overhead Without Disrupting Critical Workflows?
Modernize workload automation with a phased migration approach designed to reduce complexity, improve visibility, and maintain operational continuity throughout the transition.
Migrate without Disruption
The Process
ANOW! and your legacy system run in parallel throughout the migration. No workload transfers until it is validated against your existing SLAs. Beta Systems guides you every step of the way.
Discovery & Assessment
We run automated extraction across your existing environment and provide a Migration Strategy Document outlining a prioritized wave plan before any conversion work begins.
Full object inventory: jobs, jobplans, schedules, VARAs, event objects
Complexity scoring: Low / Medium / High per workload group
Redundant objects identified — reduce scope, don't just replicate it
Automated Conversion & Environment Build
Beta Systems' migration tool converts AE jobs, workflows, schedules, variables, and calendar objects to ANOW! format automatically. ANOW! is provisioned and agents deployed across all targets.
Automated conversion for the majority of standard AE objects
RBAC migration: AE Client permissions mapped to ANOW! roles
Connectors configured & tested (SAP, ServiceNow, DBs, etc.)
Parallel Running & Validation
Identical workloads execute on both ANOW! and your legacy system simultaneously.
Production stays on your platform. Outputs are compared automatically — nothing moves forward without joint sign-off.
SLA verification: ANOW! measured against existing thresholds
Operations team training — dashboards live, ownership comes later
Sign-off gate per workload group before cutover is scheduled
Wave Cutover, Hypercare & Decommission
Non-critical workloads cut over first. Business-critical workloads last. Your legacy platform remains on standby. Final decommissioning only when every workload is confirmed stable on ANOW!.
Hypercare period: Beta Systems on-call after each wave cutover
License return managed as part of the final phase
Post-migration review: roadmap access, optimization, support handover
The Process
Migrate without Disruption
ANOW! and your legacy system run in parallel throughout the migration. No workload transfers until it is validated against your existing SLAs. Beta Systems guides you every step of the way.

Answers to Common Questions
FAQs
Will our existing environment continue to run during migration?
Yes. Our phased approach ensures everything remains fully operational throughout the process. ANOW! is deployed in parallel — no big-bang replacement, workloads are migrated in batches.
How is ANOW! pricing different from other legacy vendors?
We charge only for production environments. Transparent subscription tiers with no hidden charges or surprise increases at renewal. We plan for a long-term partnership, not quarterly gains.
What post-migration support do we receive?
Beta Systems offers 24x7 global support and regular strategic business reviews. You have a direct line to product management and influence the ANOW! roadmap.
How predictable is pricing compared to other solutions?
Beta Systems provides transparent, stable pricing designed for long-term planning. Unlike licensing models that become increasingly difficult to forecast over time, ANOW! Automate helps organizations regain cost predictability while modernizing workload automation.
Will migration disrupt business-critical workloads?
No. ANOW! and your legacy vendor run in parallel throughout the migration process. Existing workflows continue operating while workloads are validated, tested, and transitioned in phases to reduce operational risk.
Can we modernize gradually instead of replacing everything at once?
Yes. Beta Systems supports phased modernization strategies that allow organizations to transition incrementally while maintaining operational continuity and existing business processes.
