How to Migrate from Ema to Ceven
Ema is a universal AI employee that runs enterprise workflows across roles using pre-built and custom AI agents.
Ceven is an AI workflow automation platform that connects to 1,000+ tools, runs end-to-end workflows with AI steps and human-approval gates, and can build no-code pages/apps.
Migrate from Ema to Ceven in 6 steps
Inventory Your Workflows
Start by listing all your Ema workflows. Focus on outcomes rather than steps, noting what each workflow achieves and where it connects to other tools or systems.
Connect Your Tools in Ceven
Re-authorize the same apps and systems in Ceven that you used with Ema. Ensure you have the necessary permissions and access to replicate your workflows.
Rebuild Workflows by Outcome
Instead of recreating each Ema workflow step-by-step, design new workflows in Ceven that achieve the same outcomes but with added flexibility. Use Ceven’s AI steps to enhance automation where possible.
Add Approval Gates and AI Steps
Where Ema workflows were brittle or lacked oversight, add human-approval gates in Ceven to ensure critical steps are reviewed. Use Ceven’s AI capabilities to automate repetitive tasks.
Validate in Parallel
Run both Ema and Ceven workflows side-by-side on real data to validate the accuracy and reliability of your new workflows. Ensure all outputs match your expectations.
Schedule and Cut Over
Once validated, schedule the final cutover. Start with non-critical workflows and gradually shift more important processes to Ceven, monitoring for any issues.
Why teams switch from Ema to Ceven
Teams often migrate from Ema to Ceven for enhanced flexibility and control over their workflows. Ceven offers a broader range of integrations and the ability to build custom no-code pages and apps, which can be crucial for specific business needs.
Ceven’s human-approval gates provide an additional layer of oversight, ensuring that critical steps are reviewed before execution. This can be particularly valuable in environments where compliance and accuracy are paramount.
What moves over and what doesn't
When migrating from Ema to Ceven, the workflow logic and outcomes are what you’ll rebuild. The specific AI agents and pre-built workflows from Ema won’t transfer automatically, but you can recreate similar functionality in Ceven.
Ceven’s AI steps and approval gates offer new capabilities that can enhance your workflows, but they require a different approach to design and implementation. Be prepared to invest time in understanding and utilizing these features.
Avoiding the common pitfalls
One common pitfall is attempting to recreate every Ema workflow exactly as it was. Instead, focus on the outcomes and design more efficient workflows in Ceven that leverage its unique features.
Another mistake is skipping the validation phase. Running both systems in parallel ensures that you catch any discrepancies or issues before fully committing to Ceven. Always test with real data to ensure accuracy.
Frequently asked
Can Ceven automatically import my Ema workflows?
No, Ceven does not support automatic import of Ema workflows. You will need to rebuild your workflows in Ceven, which often results in more streamlined and capable processes.
Will I lose any data during the migration?
Since you’re rebuilding workflows rather than transferring data, there is no risk of data loss. Ensure that your workflows are validated with real data before cutting over to Ceven.
How long does the migration process typically take?
The timeline depends on the complexity of your workflows and the number of integrations involved. Plan for several weeks to a few months, especially if you need to redesign workflows to take full advantage of Ceven’s features.
