Migration refers to the process of moving data, applications, or entire systems from one environment to another. This could involve transitioning from on-premises infrastructure to the cloud, upgrading to a new software platform, or consolidating disparate systems into a unified solution. There are several common migration techniques that organizations employ, each with its own benefits and challenges. Some popular approaches include lift-and-shift migrations, where applications are moved as-is to a new environment, and re-platforming, which involves some level of optimization or modification during the migration process. Repurchasing represents another approach that has been gaining momentum in recent years.
