Hi Community,
I'm looking for some best approaches, documentation if any for migration strategies. I would need info on below 2 scenarios:
1. Best practices/approach for migrating an application from other technology OnBase to Appian
2. Best practices/approach for migrating data in old application.
Quick pointer on above is much appreciated.

Hi Karthik,
It depends on Application, systems, data. In our case we have followed below approach.1. Create/Route all new request/application in Appian.2. Keep the legacy system active untill they finish in progress requests.3. Shut down loegacy system once all in flight process complete.4. Migrate data from legacy system to Appian in stages.It is less risk for complex applications.Thanks
1) Understand the problems to be solved, and implement an Appian application in the style of Appian. Trying to copy a solution from another technology into Appian without adaption is a big risk.
2) Following the above recommendation, the new application and data model might be different than the old one. A typical database + file migration, including data model transformation, is what you are looking into.
