Migration Why, When and How????
Migration is a big question among the industry and answer is very delicate. Migration of the old control system to new one is something, which is required for the growing business. However if proper planning is not done Migration would be as painful and as inevitable as death or paying taxes. However, good news is unlike dying and paying taxes, you will be better off after a control system migration than ever before.
However if the migration planning, and implementation is not done properly then the migration could be more troublesome then paying taxes.
