The challenge
What our client was up against.
Many of our reseller clients began their journey on legacy platforms — Bicom Systems and FreePBX. As their customer bases grew, those platforms hit hard limits: dynamic IVRs, detailed reporting, multi-tenant administration, and API access weren't keeping up with what their customers needed. They needed to move onto NetSapiens®, but the cost of getting a migration wrong — even one botched cutover — was unacceptable. Lost calls during business hours, endpoints failing to re-register, ported numbers going dark for hours: any of these would burn customer trust irreversibly.
Our approach
How we solved it.
We built a repeatable migration playbook for moving resellers from Bicom Systems and FreePBX onto NetSapiens® with zero customer-facing downtime. The playbook front-loads the risk: every configuration, dial plan, queue, IVR, and endpoint is pre-built and tested on the NetSapiens® side before any cutover happens. By the time we flip traffic, the new platform is already proven.
What we did
Step by step.
Every activity on this list ran on every cutover or build — no exceptions, no shortcuts.
- Initial data collection and validation — capture every dial plan, route, queue, IVR, auto-attendant, user, and device from the source platform with structured migration forms.
- Pre-migration architecture and provisioning — replicate the full configuration on NetSapiens® before any traffic moves. Pre-configure all features, users, numbers, and services.
- Number porting planning — for clients retaining their numbers, plan port-in timelines precisely with the losing carrier, ensuring compliance with local LNP regulations.
- Full system testing pre-cutover — validate inbound and outbound calling, trunk stability, codec negotiation, queue behavior, IVR navigation, and call recording.
- Coordinate cutover to minimize disruption — complete all backend setup before cutover. Execute the migration with minimal client interaction and no operational disruption.
- Re-provision devices and phones to the new platform, ensuring all endpoints register successfully on NetSapiens® — IP phones, softphones, mobile clients, and ATA gateways.
- Post-migration testing and final QA — confirm all settings, configurations, and numbers are working seamlessly on NetSapiens®. Test calls, domain checks, and trunk verification.
- Conduct regular audits of ongoing operations to maintain zero downtime after handoff.
