Migration
Execution: Go Live
In this final phase, you put the newly migrated application into production.
One strategy is to first introduce the SAS®9 environment to a limited pilot or beta group. This strategy can be especially helpful to sites that combine third-party products in a custom application. You might choose your technical support staff for the pilot group, so they will be prepared to answer user questions.
