5 Key Considerations for Migrating to Odoo 15

With the release of the latest version of Odoo, that’s Odoo 15, it has become essential to migrate to it now for every business. Here are the key aspects to consider for successfully migrating to version 15, shared by a professional of Odoo in Australia. 

This October, Odoo has come with its latest version, Odoo 15. And like every new version that comes up every year, version 15 has also got some added and more powerful features, modules, integrations, and other usability enhancements. Odoo 15 is a much more well-designed, efficient, and intuitive version of the ERP than all the previous versions of the software. This has made it even more essential to migrate to Odoo 15 for businesses now. But the migration process may not be that easy and may involve several crucial aspects. 

Here’s what you need to consider while migrating to this new and improved version of the ERP, as shared by an expert consultant of Odoo in Australia. 

Preparation is important:

The very first step is a preparation where you need to understand and analyse your current setup in detail including whether there are any third-party or custom modules, what server hosting option you are using, whether you are using the enterprise or community edition of the ERP, etc. Preparing your current ERP system is important before getting ahead with the next migration stages. 

Module migration comes next:

The second step is the migration of the modules. You need to migrate both the customised modules and the main Odoo modules of your current system to the new one. Also, make sure to check the compatibility of the existing modules with the ones that are there in the new version. Here, you may need to do some changes as some of the existing modules may not be compatible with the new system. 

Data migration:

The third step is the data migration that includes the master database migration, transactional data transfer, and the migration of the other data of the business. This is the most crucial step as you cannot just afford to miss or lose any data while migrating. 

Production rollout:

If you are using in-house Odoo hosting, you can use either the ERP migration script or can upload the database directly to the Odoo website and the ERP can then run the script for migration. The production rollout step must cover source code integration, database configuration, and must also focus on the training that needs to be provided to the end-users for proper usage of the ERP. 

Proper testing:

Finally, comes the quality assurance or the testing stage before going live. This testing step must include both performance and functionality testing of the new version of the ERP. 

So, these were the key considerations for successfully migrating to Odoo 15. And each one of these points is equally important for a flawless migration. However, if you are using an older version of the software and want to make a move to this new version now, it’s also important to get your software migrated by a reliable and experienced Odoo implementation and migration company like Envertis Software solutions to ensure step-wise migration of your existing system.
