AWS prescriptive-guidance documentation change

Service: prescriptive-guidance · 2026-07-10 · Documentation low

File: prescriptive-guidance/latest/strategy-migration-connect/overview.md

Summary

Updated documentation links, formatting, and terminology related to Amazon Connect migration strategies. Changes include typographical corrections, image path updates, and expanded explanations about migration considerations.

Security assessment

The changes primarily focus on documentation structure, typographical improvements, and clarifying migration strategies. While there is a mention of encryption policies for call recordings and domain certificate management in examples, these are pre-existing security best practices being referenced rather than new security documentation or vulnerability fixes. No concrete evidence of addressing a specific security vulnerability or introducing new security features.

-  * _Minimal user disruption_ – Depending on your contact center’s opening hours and backend systems, it might not be possible to avoid downtime entirely during the migration. Be realistic and consider whether the expected disruption is tolerable compared with the time and effort required to complete the migration without any downtime. Accepting minimal disruption rather than no disruption might reduce risks in other areas of project delivery or provide significant cost savings. For example, you might decide to circulate a new web address to users for accessing the new Connect Customer desktop instead of migrating an existing web address. This helps avoid the effort and expense of signing new domain certificates and having to manage a web address cutover.

Your objective should be to keep the dual-system period as short as practical.

-  * **Increased business agility** – Deliver new capabilities into production rapidly and safely. For example, sentiment analysis and big data call transcript crawling help you gather near real-time insight into customer communications and enable you to optimize your products and services based on their needs. After you identify and implement these features, you can deliver them by using DevOps principles, which encourage collaboration among your developers and operators, and use infrastructure as code (IaC) tools and continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipelines to manage builds and automate testing. Avoid repeating steps manually wherever possible to avoid human error, which can introduce bugs into the implementation process.

-  * **Improved total cost of ownership (TCO), especially in early stages** – Rework costs time and effort. To get key decisions right the first time, allocate sufficient time to the discovery and design phases of migration. Infrastructure decisions are difficult to alter without significant cost, so consult with the appropriate stakeholders. For example, changing the encryption policy for call recordings might require additional infrastructure components, so make sure that your security compliance teams approve the encryption policy before you start implementation. Get sign-off on designs before moving into the build phase.

-  * **Agile customer experience** – Use agile methodologies to rapidly and iteratively develop caller journeys. Unlike infrastructure components, contact flows and user journeys are easy to alter, so start early with a basic flow and iterate frequently with stakeholders to reach the desired state. It’s easy to add a message prompt or to alter menu options in Connect Customer—no programming knowledge is required. Your objective should be to deliver the right user journey, not to rigidly follow the journey that you originally designed. Iterating frequently gives stakeholders the ability to tweak the journey as it matures and feedback is received.

-  * **Smooth and timely service introduction** – User training, process changes, and service desk changes are often overlooked until the project is close to completion. The new contact center has to be accepted into your organization’s business as usual (BAU) operations as well as meeting the go-live date. Without a proper handover, the project team will not be able to recede and BAU teams will not be prepared to use the new platform. Make your project’s integration into BAU operations a gate for go-live approval. It is vital to agree on platform ownership before you go live. Engage service introduction and operating model stakeholders from the beginning of the project, and keep them engaged throughout.
