The Data Dispatch: February Bi-weekly Edition
Welcome to the bi-weekly edition of Data Dispatch! This time, we’re diving headfirst into the rollercoaster ride that is data migration and integration. Because let’s be real—migrating data is like moving apartments: it always takes longer than expected, something always breaks, and by the end, you swear you'll never do it again (until next time).
So, grab your coffee, and let’s get into it!
