Getting an overview of data migration

Data migration into a Power Platform solution is one of the most important parts of an implementation project. However, it is often underestimated, and not enough time and resources are allocated for this job. It is really important to understand the importance of data migration, the possible solution approaches, and the tools and techniques that can be used to implement it. In the following sections, you will learn about the different high-level approaches for importing data into a CDS-based application.

Learning about migration as part of integration

Often, a Power Platform solution is integrated with a lot of existing IT systems and solutions, some of which hold the required data that needs to be migrated into Power Platform. This is a fortunate situation since you may be able to reuse the integration solution for the data migration process.

In this case, it is better to call this approach initial data load, rather than data migration...
