Question 1

What exactly does an Odoo migration engineer do?

Accepted Answer

An Odoo migration engineer manages the technical move of your ERP from one system to another. They audit your current setup, export your PostgreSQL database, install and configure all modules in the new environment, validate data integrity, run UAT (User Acceptance Testing) with your team in staging, and coordinate the final switchover with minimal downtime. They are not general consultants or developers, but specialists in Odoo database and configuration migrations.

Question 2

How long does an Odoo migration typically take?

Accepted Answer

Timeline depends on your data volume, number of modules, and custom integrations. Small teams usually migrate in 1-2 weeks from kickoff to go-live. Larger teams with complex setups may take 3-4 weeks. Your engineer provides a detailed timeline during the audit phase. Most technical work happens in parallel, so your team can keep working normally while we prepare the new system.

Question 3

Will there be downtime during the migration?

Accepted Answer

The final switchover typically requires 2-4 hours of downtime while we cut over from old system to new. We always schedule this during low-business hours to minimize impact. All preparation, testing, and configuration happen in parallel environments so your team keeps working normally. After go-live, your engineer stays on call for 48 hours to catch and fix any issues immediately.

Question 4

Do you support custom Odoo modules on Opsily?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Opsily hosts full Odoo installations with access to all 4,000+ community modules from the Odoo Community Association, plus full support for custom Python modules and integrations. If you have custom development, our engineers work with your developers to ensure everything installs and runs correctly. Odoo Online, by contrast, limits you to Odoo Studio customizations and charges extra for them.

Question 5

What happens to all my data during migration?

Accepted Answer

Your Odoo database is dumped from PostgreSQL, validated for integrity and completeness, and restored on the new server. All documents, attachments, custom data, and user settings move with it. We test the entire migration in a staging environment first so your team can verify everything is correct before we touch production. Your engineer handles all backups and data validation.

Question 6

Can you migrate from Odoo Online to Opsily?

Accepted Answer

Yes, that is one of our most common migrations. Odoo Online uses Odoo's infrastructure. We export your database, set it up on Opsily's managed servers, and handle all cutover logistics. Most teams save 80% on hosting costs in the process because Opsily uses flat-fee pricing instead of per-user fees. Your migration engineer coordinates the entire move.

Question 7

Is Opsily GDPR-compliant?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Opsily is based in Germany and all data is stored in a Frankfurt data center. We comply with GDPR by default: EU data residency, encrypted backups, audit trails, and zero data sharing with third parties. If you handle European customer data and Odoo Online's global infrastructure makes you nervous, Opsily eliminates that risk entirely.

Question 8

Is a migration engineer included with every plan?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every Opsily plan, Small, Medium, Large, and Unlimited, includes access to our migration team. There are no separate consulting fees or add-ons. Your engineer is part of the service. We include migration support because moving ERP systems is too critical to leave to DIY tools or external contractors.
