Timing is everything when it comes to a successful migration. Schedule your migration during a naturally quieter time for your business. Here are some business restraints to take into account when deciding on a migration date.
- The ideal time to migrate is during a naturally quiet period for your business when there’s less financial activity to manage.
- Avoid month-end, quarter-end, and especially year-end periods when accounting workloads are typically at their highest.
- If your business has seasonal fluctuations, target the slowest season for your migration.
- Also consider your team’s availability – ensure key financial staff aren’t on holiday during the transition period.
- Think also about choosing a less busy bedding in period as staff will need time to get used to the new system.
