I want our migration teams to automate the most common migration steps to help us achieve the migration at the lowest cost and risk. 3-‐ ANSWERING THE MIGRATION PROVIDER PAIN POINTS • • • • • I want to use automatic tools to discovery the existing environment but also automate the process to collect missing information and resolve conflicts with people. I want an audit trail on decisions that influence the migration plan. I need to extract rules from the business so we can speed up the decision process.
