Lift and Shift Migration

A lift and shift ERP migration lifts an existing on-premises ERP system and shifts it to a cloud-based environment without making significant modifications to the code or application architecture. This approach is often used to quickly migrate to the cloud without significant disruption to business operations. Because this process doesn’t take full advantage of the capabilities of the cloud environment, it may require additional optimization after the migration is completed.

A lift and shift approach may be suitable if your business:

• Is running AX 2012 or later versions

• Needs to migrate its data quickly and with minimal disruption

• Has a limited budget for the migration project

• Has a straightforward AX implementation with minimal customizations

• Has a relatively small amount of data to migrate

• Does not require significant changes to its business processes or workflows
