The high risk involved in major systems migrations normally leads to a phased approach which creates additional problems managing processes that span two sets of systems during the transition period. Often the only way of managing the extra workload created is to employ more temporary staff.

Such tactical techniques are now being used by enterprises to address temporary workarounds not only in the fragmented processes highlighted during the transitional period, but also in the technical migration process itself.
