“Can I just claim asylum? Why are Costpoint cloud migrations so perilous?”
(Episode 2)
Gordon Crickman, VP and General Manager of Mosaic Multicloud, provides insights from his more than 25-year Costpoint IT career revealing his top 5 warning signs that a Costpoint cloud migration is in danger of failure. He also tells our Eric Brown about some of the most disastrous migrations he's witnessed (NOT OURS! 😊), including Costpoint moves spanning 30 months and running 900% over budget, and an epic Costpoint failure that's downright comical. Though these painful lessons may leave you running for refuge, you'll learn a ton too.

Hand in hand with your migration and test plans, we make sure that your staging and other environments are properly resourced and deployed. We provide, train, and enforce best practices for user provisioning and access, and recommend tailored and effective test plans and timing to meet your go-live goals.
Whether you require SQL or Oracle databases or both, our engineers and data consultants ensure the best performance for your Deltek system. We optimize your target infrastructure, recommend the right database versions and feature sets, and perform any data conversions, consolidations, and tuning you may need.

We review and right-size your target infrastructure to ensure your new cloud for Deltek meets your business needs, giving you optimal performance and throughput, and a responsive Costpoint experience.
Costpoint Cloud migrations are an opportune time to finally catch up on your application and database updates, and move to the latest – and most stable – releases.

“I cannot thank the TBS team enough for all the extraordinary work over these past two months. Our plan was crazy, in all honesty, but we got it done, and we all did it well.
