What is Migration Tool?

A migration tool is a software application or service designed to facilitate the transfer of data, applications, or systems from one environment to another. This can involve moving from an older system to a newer one (e.g., upgrading software), moving data between different storage formats (e.g., from a local server to the cloud), or moving applications between different platforms (e.g., from on-premises to a cloud provider). Migration tools often automate repetitive tasks, validate data integrity, and minimize downtime during the transfer process. Common use cases include database migration, server migration, application modernization, and cloud migration.
