  • DATA TRANSFER FROM ON-LINE TO ON-PREMISE DEPLOYMENT
    Publication number: 20100262632
    Abstract: A customer can request migration of its data from a multi-tenant hosting environment to a local environment. The customer's data is pulled from the multi-tenant hosting environment and scrubbed so that it is compatible with a local version of the application previously hosted in the multi-tenant hosting environment. The data is made available to the customer at a secure location in the hosting environment. The customer retrieves the data, after proper authentication, to its local data store, and then imports the data into the local version of the application. Users of the local version of the application are then mapped from previous multi-jurisdictional identifications to local user identifications in the application.
