When planning the next step for your organization’s data infrastructure, the first decision is whether to migrate your existing data “as‑is” or modernize your data platforms. This blog explains the difference between data modernization and data migration, when to choose each approach, and why adopting a distributed database is often central to a successful modernization strategy.
