What is the difference between Odoo upgrade and Odoo migration?
+
"Upgrade" typically refers to moving to a newer Odoo version (e.g., v15 to v19), while "migration" is a broader term that includes version upgrades, data migration from external systems, and platform switching. In practice, most Odoo partners use both terms interchangeably for version upgrades.

How long does an Odoo migration take?
