Traditionally, "migrate" is considered to be an intransitive verb; that is, it cannot be used with an object. However, in the world of software development, it has become commonplace to use the term as a transitive verb to refer to the process of moving software systems, code, or data objects from one computer to another, often entailing a significant amount of work to get the items that have been moved to operate as intended in the new environment. Traditionalists may frown on this usage, but it seems here to stay. See related link.
