Old platform. New platform. Running simultaneously. For longer than anyone planned
Digital Hive surfaces content from both environments in one interface - users never need to know which version a report lives in
What's actually happening
Platform upgrades never complete on schedule. Parallel environments are the norm, not the exception
Cognos 11 and Cognos Analytics. Power BI tenant from 2019 and the new consolidated tenant post-acquisition. Tableau Server and Tableau Cloud. Users don’t know which environment has the current version of the report
They ask IT. IT is tired of answering
The reason this stays broken
- Users develop habits tied to specific URLs and environments
- Parallel environments double governance obligations
- Retiring old environments requires proving every report has a certified successor
How Digital Hive solves it
Four shifts that work without replacing anything you already own
Single front door to both
Digital Hive indexes content from both versions simultaneously. Users search once - Digital Hive surfaces the right version by certification status
Version-aware catalog
Mark reports as legacy, in-migration, or current. Users are guided to certified versions without needing to know the underlying version
Retirement validation
Use side-by-side comparison to validate successor reports before decommissioning the old environment - with an audit trail
Adoption measurement
Track which version of a report users are actually accessing to know when it’s safe to retire the old one
What changes after rollout
Unaffected.
Users browse one front door; parallel environments stay invisible
Evidence-
based
Retirement decisions backed by actual usage data, not guesswork
Both
governed
Certification and glossary maintained across both environments
