# How long does a migration take? ## Flexible planning of migrations In preparing migration processes, close attention is paid to two important factors: the volume of data that needs to be transferred and the number of employees within the organization. Since these aspects can vary significantly from one organization to another, there is no fixed duration for migrations. The required time for a migration can vary, with the process taking several hours to even several working days. ## Recovery steps after migration. It is essential to note that after a successful migration, individual employees often face the need to perform some actions to fully restore their digital tools to operational status. This can include, among other things, re-linking emails, configuring software, and restoring access to specific data programs. In short, planning and executing migrations requires a thorough approach, in which the volume of data and the number of employees determine the duration. The choice for weekend migrations is aimed at minimizing disruption for employees, while restoring digital functionalities after migrations is an important next step for a seamless transition. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
