As organizations modernize their digital ecosystems, a critical decision arises: should legacy data be migrated to modern platforms, integrated through connectors, or left in place? This session explores the strategic, technical, and operational considerations behind data migration versus integration. Attendees will learn how to evaluate when to move data, where to move it (e.g., Microsoft 365, Azure, Dataverse), and when to leverage Microsoft Graph connectors to surface legacy data. Real-world scenarios, architectural patterns, and decision frameworks will be shared to help IT leaders, architects, and developers make informed choices that balance cost, complexity, and business value.

• Decision Framework: Understand how to evaluate whether to migrate, integrate, or retain data in place.
• Platform Options: Learn about modern destinations for legacy data—Microsoft 365, Azure, SharePoint Embedded, Dataverse, and more.
• Cost vs. Complexity: Analyze trade-offs between full migration and hybrid integration.
• Real-World Use Cases: Explore case studies and architectural patterns from enterprises that have tackled this challenge.
