I practiced a similar question, and I think this is definitely a replatform. They’re not just moving data; they’re changing how they manage customer relationships.

I think it might be a refactor because they need to standardize their data first before moving it. But I'm not 100% confident about that.

This sounds a lot like a "replace" strategy to me. They are completely shifting from spreadsheets to a new system, right?

I remember studying the different migration strategies, but I'm not entirely sure which one fits this scenario. It feels like it could be a replatforming since they're moving to a cloud-based CRM.

Based on the details provided, I think the "Replatform" option makes the most sense. The company is keeping the core functionality but moving to a new cloud-based platform, which aligns with the description of a Replatform strategy.

I'm a bit confused here. The question doesn't provide a lot of details about the current system or the new CRM platform. Without more information, it's hard for me to confidently choose the right migration strategy.

Okay, let me think this through. The company is not completely replacing their existing system, just moving it to a new platform. So I'm going to go with option A, "Replatform".

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. The question mentions the need to "rationalize and standardize data" before the migration, which makes me think it could also be a "Refactor" strategy.

This seems like a straightforward question. The company is moving from on-premises spreadsheets to a cloud-based CRM, which suggests a "Replatform" migration strategy.

I'm going with B. Refactor. Standardizing and rationalizing the data before migrating to the new platform sounds like a significant rework of the existing system to me.

Haha, I bet the people in charge of this migration are feeling like they need a vacation on a tropical beach right about now. Anyways, I'd go with C. Rehost, since they're just moving the system to a different environment without major changes.

This is definitely a Replatform scenario. They're moving the existing system to a new platform, the cloud-based CRM, without major changes to the application itself.
