Zero Downtime TFS to Azure DevOps (ADO / Cloud) Migration
by Opshub, Inc.
Migrate attachments, comments, relationships and more from TFS to Azure DevOps with high fidelity
The shift from TFS or Azure DevOps Server to Azure DevOps (Cloud) is more than migration-it’s modernization. But without careful planning, large-scale data transfers, workflow mismatches, and unplanned downtime can derail even the most agile teams. OpsHub Migrator for Microsoft Azure DevOps (OM4ADO), developed in partnership with Microsoft, simplifies the TFS to ADO migration journey with scalable, high-fidelity, non-disruptive, and zero-downtime move. With OM4ADO, migrate to Azure DevOps environments already in use, supporting custom templates and field mappings without requiring an empty target. It supports older TFS/Azure DevOps Server versions (from 2010). Migrate directly from legacy TFS to Azure DevOps (VSTS) securely without intermediate upgrades, minimizing risk and disruption while unlocking the full potential of Azure DevOps Cloud.

Common Migration Drivers
- Consolidate tools post mergers or acquisitions
- Enable centralized development across distributed teams
- Adopt a cloud-first strategy with modern CI/CD pipelines
- Overcome scalability limits of on-premises infrastructure
- Embrace modern workflows such as Agile, Scrum, etc.
- Ensure cross-platform integration with GitHub, Jira, Jenkins, or ServiceNow
- Improve security and compliance with built-in encryption and governance
- Reduce maintenance and infrastructure costs
Migrate from TFS to ADO (Cloud) with OM4ADO
1. Migrate directly from TFS 2010 and newer, skipping costly version upgrades.
2. Move data into existing Azure DevOps instances with support for custom templates, project configurations, and field mappings. No need for an empty ADO target.
3. A simple drag-and-drop interface enables configuration in minutes, not months. No developer dependency!
4. OM4ADO keeps TFS and Azure DevOps (Cloud) in sync until the final cutover, ensuring business continuity.
5. Transfer work items, attachments, comments, source code, pipelines, test entities, dashboards, history and more, preserving links and relationships with high data fidelity.
6. Transform or restructure projects during migration-merge, split, or realign workflows to match modern DevOps practices with OM4ADO’s intelligent transformation capabilities instead of a basic lift-and-shift.
7. Migrate 1000s of projects in parallel with built-in load balancing. OM4ADO runs outside end systems to maintain stability and performance.
8. Perform phased migrations with continuous access to TFS data. Reverse sync keeps systems aligned until full migration completes.
