siirto
Explanation:
Migration in computer jargon is generally synonymous with "transferring". There is a component of learning a new system, but the transfer of data and files is usually the biggest issue.

You can also see "migraatio", but as the second link below demonstrates, various forms of the verb "siirtää" are synonymous.
