Source notes citing this source

• AWS guidance recommends making the new platform's handover into business-as-usual operations a gate for go-live approval, and agreeing platform ownership before go-live. in context
• AWS guidance ranks customers as the highest priority for avoiding disruption during migration, even if that means more disruption for agents and backend system operators. in context
• AWS guidance says zero downtime may not be achievable, depending on opening hours and backend systems, and that accepting minimal disruption can reduce risk or cost elsewhere in the project. in context
• AWS guidance contrasts infrastructure components, which are hard to change, with contact flows and caller journeys, which are easy to change, and recommends starting early with a basic flow and iterating with stakeholders rather than rigidly following the original design. in context
• AWS guidance warns that treating a contact center migration purely as a technology delivery project risks overlooking staff training and operating model changes. in context
• AWS guidance recommends keeping the period of running two contact center platforms as short as practical, because a longer period raises cost, operator burden and the risk of errors such as making changes on the wrong platform. in context
• AWS guidance advises getting security compliance approval of decisions such as call-recording encryption policy, and sign-off on designs, before starting the build, because infrastructure decisions are costly to change later. in context
• AWS guidance notes that user training, process changes and service desk changes are often overlooked until the migration project is close to completion. in context
