"This is another Diagnosis problem. To answer this question, we suggest you use our framework (along with the TROPIC method) to be as thorough as possible. The framework is as follows:
Ask clarifying questions
List potential high level reasons
Gather Context (TROPIC)Time
Region
Other features / products (internal)
Platform
Industry / Competition
Cannibalization
Establish a theory of probable cause
Test theories
Propose solutions
Summarize

"Seamless user experience
Consistent UI
Data mapping
Technical architecture of the 2 platforms and their compatibility
API integrations
Security and compliance factors to consider, impacting from the integration.
Feature parity — to carry over features, enhance features, drop features etc
Load testing, performance testing and end-to-end testing post integration"
