Solution
Application and data migration
Application and database migration to a new platform. Destination architecture, file and transaction transfer, API changes and cutover after verification.
Architecture and implementation
Destination architecture
Target hosting environments for applications, data and services.
Data transfer
Export, transformation and import pipelines between systems.
Integration and deployment
Service configuration and system connections for platform operations.
Design decisions
Migration of an application and its database to a new platform. An initial copy transfers the data, then synchronisation catches up with transactions written during the transfer. Cutover brings the destination platform into service after data verification and connection redirection.
Illustrative implementation
A database and its application can move in stages, rehearsing cutover in a test environment before the production transition.

Related solutions
System portability and transfer
Exports, configuration and deployment procedures prepare the transfer. Migration uses them to rebuild the application on the new platform and perform cutover.
Systems modernisation
Modernisation concerns software versions and components. It can accompany a migration, with its own compatibility checks.
