Cloud and legacy systems
How do I migrate a system when nobody has documented how it works?
Observe the real system before changing it. Inventory users, integrations, data flows, scheduled jobs, reports, dependencies, and known manual workarounds. Capture that knowledge from logs and current users, then build the migration plan from evidence rather than assumptions.
What to check
- Which systems send data in or out?
- What scheduled jobs or reports depend on it?
- Who currently knows the undocumented workarounds?
