Designing data migration strategies

A migration strategy provides a clear understanding of the activities, steps, and impact of moving from one system to another. Solution Architects design migration strategies by considering the following factors:

• The volume of data to be migrated
• The structure and format of the data to be migrated
• The route to access the source data
• The destination for the data
• The level of data processing required by the data
• The impact of potential API throttling
• The production downtime required

In Chapter 3, Discovery and Initial Solution Planning, high-level migration estimates and efforts were discussed. This section expands on this preliminary analysis to flesh out the complete migration strategy for a Power Platform implementation.

When designing a migration strategy, Solution Architects consider the capabilities that are available within the Power Platform feature set, which include the following:

• Data Flows...
