I think we should definitely consider user training as part of the strategy, but I’m not sure if that’s one of the answers we can choose from.

I feel like we discussed something about incremental migration in class, but I can't recall if that's the right term or if it applies here.

I remember practicing a question about data validation and cleansing, so maybe that’s one of the strategies we should consider?

I think one strategy might be to conduct a thorough data audit before migration, but I'm not entirely sure if that's one of the options.

I'm a bit unsure about the best approach here. I know we need to have a solid backup and rollback plan in case anything goes wrong during the migration. But I'm not sure what the other key strategy would be.

I'm feeling pretty confident about this one. Establishing clear data governance policies and procedures will be crucial. And having a dedicated data migration team to oversee the process will be key.

Okay, let's see. I'd say we need to consider data cleansing and deduplication strategies to ensure we're only migrating clean, accurate data. And a parallel run of the legacy and Salesforce systems could help identify any issues.

Hmm, this is a tricky one. I'd definitely recommend a phased approach, migrating data in smaller batches to minimize disruption. And we'll need to have a robust testing process to validate the data.

I think the key is to have a solid data migration plan that addresses potential issues with data quality and integrity. We'll need to carefully map the data fields and ensure a smooth transition.
