thanks, Cilian the reason why it looks as if something is missing is that it is a list and the subject is the same in all items of the list. the list title is "Optimizes migration process using:", other items of the list are for example "Uses the transparent switchover to ...etc."
In any case, the text should be written in the US

is the source itself a translation? - there's something missing - it's not a proper sentence - maybe replace "provides no easy switchback" with "there is no easy switchback/undo"?
