In my professional career, it was like a zig-zag always. Through my different assignments, one of the key tasks was to support either migration of systems from my location to the corporate central or to act on behalf of the HQ and suck the local systems into the central places, regardless of my various roles in these projects. I’d like to point out the similarities and differences in these experiences, the lessons learnt and to give some takeaways perhaps. The story will follow my real experience, ending by my current task, to oversee the IT transformation of the Czechoslovak group where I can share certain topics only, but still enough.
