System migration
Moving an organisation from one business system to another
What's it for?
Moves people, information and business work from an old system to a replacement without stopping the organisation from operating.
For example…
Finance leaves its old ledger and goes live on a new ERP over a planned weekend, with a period of running both and a rollback plan if invoices fail.
A system migration moves HR from an old on-premises platform to Workday, including employee data, processes, integrations and user cutover
Think of it like…
Changing banks: standing orders, history, and day-to-day payments have to land in the new place or the business stops paying people
