For instance, at T-minus 30 days, (30 days before the scheduled migration) Swimage can send a custom message to the user preparing them for the migration. Training, instructions, or other information about their migration can be included in the message. The T-minus schedule can have as many messages at whatever intervals you wish. Our typical communication configuration includes a message at T-minus 30, 15, 7, and one day prior to the migration. With this process, all messaging is consistent and no one is missed. Properly setting the user\u2019s expectation for the migration is key in how successful the migration is perceived by the user. Without this, the process can be technically flawless but can be perceived negatively only because the \u201cchange\u201d was not communicated well.<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- \/wp:media-text --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- \/wp:group --><\/p>\n<p><!-- wp:group {\"className\":\"layout-block layout-block\\u002d\\u002doption-three\"} --><\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-group layout-block layout-block--option-three\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container\"><!-- wp:media-text {\"mediaId\":13644,\"mediaLink\":\"https:\/\/www.swimage.com\/staging\/?attachment_id=13644\",\"mediaType\":\"image\",\"mediaWidth\":31} --><p><\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text alignwide is-stacked-on-mobile\" style=\"grid-template-columns: 31% auto;\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" class=\"wp-image-13644 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.swimage.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Encryp.-33-1024x576.png\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.swimage.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Encryp.-33-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.swimage.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Encryp.-33-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/www.swimage.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Encryp.-33-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/www.swimage.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Encryp.-33-1536x864.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.swimage.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Encryp.-33.png 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\"><!-- wp:heading {\"textAlign\":\"center\",\"level\":3} --><p><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Execute dry-run deployments to ensure success<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><!-- \/wp:heading --><\/p>\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>In addition to the T-minus communication, Swimage allows for a pre-validation process to execute at various intervals prior to the migration.
