Data Migration
Definition
Moving data from one system to another.
In Plain English
Data migration is like moving offices—everything needs to be packed, transported, and unpacked correctly.
Real-World Example
Switching CRM providers requires migrating all your customer data to the new system.
Why It Matters for Your Work
Poor migrations lose data, corrupt records, or break applications. Plan migrations carefully.
Common Mistake
Underestimating migration complexity. Data cleaning and mapping often take longer than expected.
