Our Methodology

Proven 6-Phase Migration Approach

Battle-tested methodology refined over hundreds of enterprise migrations

01

Discovery & Assessment

Comprehensive inventory of all source environments, content analysis, permissions mapping, and dependency identification. Automated discovery tools scan for potential issues before migration begins.

02

Architecture & Planning

Design target architecture, create detailed migration plan, define wave schedules, and establish rollback procedures. Compliance framework mapping for regulated industries (HIPAA, SOX, DoD).

03

Pilot & Validation

Execute pilot wave with sample users and data. Validate migration accuracy, performance, and user experience. Refine methodology based on pilot findings before full production rollout.

04

Migration Execution

Execute migration waves with real-time monitoring, delta syncs, and continuous validation. 24/7 support during cutover. Military-grade encryption throughout.

05

Validation & Training

Rigorous post-migration validation, user acceptance testing, and comprehensive train-the-trainer programs. Ensure 100% data fidelity and user readiness.

06

Hypercare & Optimization
