Operational Readiness

How prepared is your team?

Readiness gaps are the #1 cause of migration delays.

04 Do you have a complete, current backup of all network configurations?
Yes — automated, tested, and currentBackup runs regularly and has been validated
Partial — some configs backed up via API/scriptsNot all networks or settings are captured
Manual only — screenshots or docsNo programmatic backup
No backup existsConfigurations are only in the dashboard
05 Do you have documentation of network dependencies?
Fully documentedTemplates, VPN tunnels, RADIUS, API integrations all mapped
Partially documentedSome dependencies known, others undocumented
Tribal knowledge onlyKey engineers know it, but it's not written down
Not documentedDependencies are unknown
06 Have you planned the license transfer strategy?
Yes — license plan confirmed with Cisco/partnerTransfer path, EA implications, and timeline documented
In progress — discussions startedWorking with partner but not finalized

Risk Assessment

What constraints affect your migration?

These factors determine how much risk mitigation your migration needs.

07 What is your tolerance for network downtime during migration?
Near-zero toleranceHealthcare, finance, 24/7 operations
Limited maintenance windowsWeekends or off-hours only
Flexible — we can schedule windowsBusiness can accommodate planned downtime
08 Are there compliance or regulatory requirements affecting the migration?
Yes — PCI, HIPAA, CMMC, or similarCompliance baseline must be maintained throughout
SOC 2 or general IT governanceChange management documentation required
No specific compliance requirementsInternal standards only
09 Do you have on-site IT staff at each location?
Yes — IT staff at all or most sitesPhysical device access available
Some sites — hub-and-spoke modelRegional IT covers multiple sites
No — all remote / no on-site ITEntirely cloud-managed, no local hands
Timeline & Resources

What's driving your migration timeline?

Understanding urgency and resources helps us calibrate the assessment.

10 What is your target completion timeline?
Under 4 weeksUrgent — regulatory or contractual deadline
1 – 3 monthsStandard planning cycle
3 – 6 monthsWe can plan methodically
Just exploring — no hard deadlineScoping phase
11 How experienced is your team with Meraki API / automation?
Advanced — we build with the Meraki API regularlyComfortable with scripted operations
Some experience — we've used the APIBasic scripting capability
None — dashboard onlyNo API or automation experience
12 Have you done a Meraki migration before?
