When it comes to upgrading OpenText ALM (formerly HP ALM and Micro Focus Quality Center), most organizations know the story too well: complex environments, outdated integrations, and upgrade paths that stretch for weeks, even months.
The good news? We’ve changed that narrative.
Upgrading your ALM & Quality Center to stay Future-ready
Enterprises rely on ALM as the backbone of their software delivery lifecycle. It keeps testing, quality, and release processes running smoothly at scale. Upgrading your ALM environment ensures better performance, stronger security, and better integration with evolving DevOps, automation tools and IT ecosystems.
Moreover, it also helps you avoid high extended-maintenance fees on legacy versions while unlocking new features that keep your ALM environment future-ready: without the pain or risk you might expect!

The Pain of Modernizing your ALM Service
An ALM or Quality Center upgrade means migrating your existing ALM/QC environment from an older version to a newer supported version, for example: from HP QC 10 → ALM 12.6 → ALM 17.0, or from Micro Focus ALM 15.2 → ALM 25.1.
As you know, upgrading ALM isn’t as simple as clicking ‘Upgrade’. Each version often requires multiple upgrade hops, for example: QC 10 → ALM 11 → ALM 12.2 → ALM 15.5 → OpenText ALM 25.1.x is the correct migration path and the previous examples would cause hours of troubleshooting. Every hop can involve schema changes, data conversions, and revalidation, especially if the organization has many simultaneous projects, custom workflows and fields, integrated tools (LDAP, SSO, CI/CD systems) and large user bases.
