Migrations

Migrations hold huge promise for improving agility, reducing costs and increasing self-service. They also present a great opportunity to streamline outdated processes and content. Moving to a new platform represents positive change, but it is a complex endeavor. Without proper preparation, a migration risks disrupting the business, shaking user confidence and threatening data security. A successful migration is the result of planning and analysis.
