"Data Migration Creates Cultural And Technical Strain The survey also found that 48% of organizations are migrating from Google Drive and Gmail, highlighting the cross-platform complexity many teams face. The stakes are high. IBM reports that the global average cost of a data breach is $4.88 million, while Big Panda states that unplanned downtime averages $14,056 per minute -rising to $23,750 per minute for large enterprises. Yet the primary challenge isn't just technical-migrations are closely tied to company culture."
"How Migrations Transform IT Migration projects shift IT teams from reactive support to strategic roles. Teams accustomed to fielding tickets suddenly find themselves responsible for high-visibility initiatives with executive oversight. Everything depends on these teams, yet they often lack insight into how work actually flows through the organization. IT professionals must evolve from ticketing system management to strategic planning, measuring value delivery rather than just system uptime. The pressure comes from meeting tight deadlines while aligning the entire organization around the migration roadmap."
80% of organizations are planning or navigating a merger, acquisition or divestiture within the next 12 to 24 months, placing IT at the center of change. Forty-eight percent are migrating from Google Drive and Gmail, creating cross-platform complexity. Data breach and downtime costs raise stakes, with average breach costs at $4.88 million and unplanned downtime averaging $14,056 per minute (up to $23,750 for large enterprises). Migration projects shift IT from reactive support to strategic planning, requiring RMR assessments, workflow mapping, and organization-wide alignment. Remote work reduces informal alignment, increasing hidden migration risks.
