How do typical migrations often play out?

What usually happens

Your Migration goes live and within minutes, things unravel. A folder is missing. Permissions don't align. Users can't reach critical files. Slack lights up. Then the exec messages start — and it compounds fast.

Where the risk actually lives

In the rush to move to SharePoint, Azure, Egnyte or AWS, one question gets skipped: What's sitting in your source environment? Hidden dependencies, orphaned links and unmapped permissions don't surface until go-live.

Prevention isn't just easier than repair in data migration — it's essential.

And that's exactly where the real work should start.
