exception-based migration

Exception-based migration is a strategy where certain devices or users are exempted from standard migration policies due to specific requirements, such as hardware limitations, software compatibility, or regulatory constraints. In the context of Windows 11 migrations, this approach allows organizations to handle edge cases without disrupting the bulk of the deployment. For example, Hitachi Energy's migration of over 40,000 devices used exception-based migration to manage diverse hardware and regional requirements across a dozen countries, ensuring a smooth transition while maintaining compliance and operational continuity.
