Migration Success Dos and Dont’s
Even when you’re motivated to switch from OneTrust, unforeseen issues can postpone your migration or even put a complete stop to it. Follow these helpful tips to avoid common pitfalls and ensure your migration project is a success.
Don't
Kick the project off in a silo or work with only a single team.
OneTrust can touch multiple groups. Working in a silo increases the chances of your project getting derailed by other team requirements later.
Wait until your OneTrust contract is about to renew before starting the process.
Kicking off a migration process too late may force you to renew OneTrust for another year.
Base your decision only on technical features or usability.
Considering only technical needs will make it difficult to make a compelling argument with business leaders.
Do
Identify key stakeholders and collect their business requirements upfront.
Include stakeholders from security, legal, marketing, IT, and compliance and prioritize their specific requirements.
Find your OneTrust renewal date and create a workback plan.
Start the process several months before your renewal and get your technical team aligned with your plan.
Create a business case that highlights the ROI of a switch.
Show how migrating will impact business metrics like risk reduction, total cost of ownership, and brand equity.
