In this podcast episode, A Conversation About Migration With Mark Kirstein of BitTitan, Mark breaks down the reasons we’ve been seeing many accelerated projects while some companies are delaying or cancelling migrations. And he peeks into the post-pandemic future to predict how business consolidation will likely lead to new migration projects.
Keys to Migration Success
Mark discusses the business pressures driving migrations and shares tips IT teams can use for completing projects successfully. This includes ways to prepare for a migration, what to prioritize, how to take full advantage of the cloud environment, and how to leverage best practices for security, infrastructure management, and training. Some additional considerations include timing, how to assess impact to the business, and whether to stage a migration.
