What Is Platform Migration?
Simply put, platform migration means hauling your digital stuff from one place to another. It could be dragging your data center to the cloud, jumping ship from Azure to AWS, or upgrading that crusty old SharePoint that’s been limping along since 2010.
Some migrations are straightforward–like moving email to Office 365. Others feel like performing heart surgery while running a marathon. I once worked with a manufacturing firm whose migration touched 43 interconnected systems with data dating back to the 80s. Nightmare fuel, but we got through it.
The mistake most folks make? Thinking it’s mainly technical. Nope. It’s about people and processes as much as servers and databases.
