Data migration is the planned movement of information from one system, platform, storage environment, or infrastructure configuration to another. A migration may involve transferring files, email, databases, applications, or cloud resources. Successful work typically includes assessing the existing environment, designing the destination, testing the transfer, coordinating cutover, and supporting the organization after the new environment is operating.
