Data Dive #31: BI Migrations: A Cost-Centric Guide to Getting It Right đź’¸

Business Intelligence (BI) migrations are like moving to a new city. You expect to get more opportunities, better resources, and overall improvements. But if you’re not careful, it can get expensive - fast.

The thing is, migrating to a new BI platform isn’t just a technical switch. It’s about making sure the transition doesn’t burn your budget while getting you closer to valuable insights. So, what’s the key? Understanding and controlling your costs from the start.

Why should you care? Because BI migration costs can balloon out of control if you don’t plan carefully. Whether it's license fees or retraining, these migrations aren’t just plug-and-play. They’re costly if mishandled, especially in environments with complex data and many users.

The trick to an efficient migration is breaking down the types of costs and spotting where they sneak in. With a clear-eyed view of what each cost means and where it lurks, you’re in a position to cut what you don’t need and focus on what really matters.
