Given a too high proportion of projects do not achieve what was set out to be delivered, it’s important that senior management – and the wider team – go in with eyes wide open to risks and how to mitigate them, as well as the many opportunities offered by an IT migration.

To manage any risk-related anxiety, there should also be a communications management plan that ensures key stakeholders and the project team are aware of the project status. The communication plan should also include an issue escalation plan, which would assist in the management of project issues discovered during the migration process.

To make the project a success, all teams should buy into the process and it must be socialised across the business. You might think this collaboration is easy to facilitate. It’s not.

Create a clear forum to encourage discussion. You could even co-locate people or teams together to increase integration. Because of the many hands required to see a migration project through, and its long timeframe and far-off ROI, you need champions from every part of the business.

There will always be difficulties and pain points involved in the roll-out of the migration. You will need to make adjustments and revisions. It is at this point that the collaboration and feedback from the rest of the team is key. Listen to feedback and speak to people inside and outside your business to understand what needs to be fixed, what needs to be enhanced and how, and which transformations are working effectively.

During this process, don’t get too caught up in your timetable. One of our clients actually paused the roll-out of a migration due to a pain point they discovered. They then took the time to work with their supply partners and consultants to revise the plan and the subsequent benefit was an accelerated rollout. Make sure you’re taking the time to get it right and you will reap the benefit.

Not a necessary evil

IT migration shouldn’t be viewed as a necessary evil, instead a fantastic opportunity to boost innovation and efficiency. It’s a moment that allows a CIO or IT team to take a step back and think about business goals, and how technology will help the business get there faster. These steps – to a structured and well-thought out IT migration – will help to unlock the innovation and efficiency that this process can offer.
