If anyone has had their IT team decide to start putting the CoE Tookit in place and start dumping your applications into quarantine, then you might benefit from few patterns/tools for migrating applications in a more friendly manner.
When this started in our organization, one of the first things I did was to figure out the best way to communicate with thousands of users on how to point at a new URL. At least, until "somebody" bothers to follow the process on how to migrate applications across environments and retain the URL.
NOTE: This pattern also works if you just want to move to a new app and deprecate your old one for any reason at all.
