Comparison
Risky migration vs planned migration
The difference is usually preparation, not luck.
| Area | Risky migration | Planned migration |
|---|---|---|
| Call routing | Discovered during cutover | Mapped and tested before cutover |
| Numbers | Porting details incomplete | Inventory and provider details collected |
| Users | Staff learn after launch | Users trained before transition |
FAQs
Questions buyers ask before changing call handling
Can any phone migration promise literal zero downtime?+
Literal zero downtime depends on systems and carrier conditions that must be verified. Claros uses phased planning to reduce disruption rather than making a blanket promise.
What causes phone migration disruption?+
Common causes include incomplete number records, unclear routing rules, device readiness issues, porting delays, and insufficient call-flow testing.
Can Claros run systems in parallel?+
Parallel setup may be possible depending on the current system, numbers, and desired routing. Claros scopes that during migration planning.
