How to Get the Business Behind a Data Platform Migration, with Raghid Bsat

Raghid Bsat, data platform engineer at Dataminded, joins the Data Playbook podcast to explain why a data platform migration is 75% analysis and 25% execution. With host Kris Peeters, CEO of Dataminded, he walks through the five phases in his migration guidebook: vision, governance, discovery, execution and cutover.

They cover how to win over business stakeholders who see no reason to change a working system, when to lift and shift and when to refactor, and how migrator and validator AI agents now handle much of the execution. Raghid also shares what makes the next migration easier: tests, documentation and vendor-agnostic tooling.
