Similarly, years of accumulated SEO value tied to specific URL structures can be lost if redirect mapping is not handled carefully during migration.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Why These Dependencies Only Surface Post-Migration<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A migration plan that does not explicitly inventory these dependencies beforehand will discover them only when something breaks after go-live \u2014 a third-party app stops functioning, search rankings drop due to broken redirects, or a workflow that depended on an integration nobody remembered suddenly stops working.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Mapping and Preserving Dependencies Before Migration<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After outlining the dependency inventory process that prevents post-migration breakage, the fix is a deliberate inventory of every dependency the current platform supports, completed before migration begins rather than discovered reactively afterward.
