One of the most difficult moments in the project was making the decision to migrate. Significant investments in equipment and high risks of errors at various stages required perfect planning and responsibility in decision making.The success of the project is 100% ensured by a team of professionals and management support.Technological complexity is associated with the amount of information stored, the number and volume of databases and the time required for physical transfer.Limitations on the downtime of the entire infrastructure and the need for guaranteed data safety in any negative scenario required very clear planning and preparation.
