What You Need to Know

Every business and its data are unique, and that means every migration is too. There are lots of variables that can affect the migration, so it’s beneficial to get ahead in planning. We will help you establish a project timeline and set clear expectations about who is handling each task, and when it needs to get done. Now is also an excellent time to touch base with key stakeholders to answer any questions.

We will also work with you to take a comprehensive inventory of your data for full visibility into your email environment before you get started. This helps us anticipate and handle potential complications before the migration begins. It also ensures you take stock of all your files and mailboxes so you can decide which content you no longer need, thereby optimizing your Office 365 experience. After all, you don’t want to pay to move and manage mailboxes and data you no longer need.

As you prepare to move to the cloud, you’ll need to choose a backup solution. Office 365 provides some data protection, but it’s not a fail-safe in the event of lost or corrupted data. Reliable backups help ensure all files can be restored quickly to minimize downtime and lost productivity.

Many migration tools require manual involvement and management to initiate and sync data – a process that can be cumbersome, time-consuming, and error-prone. But rest assured, we have the expertise and automated tools to make your Office 365 migration go smoothly. We’ll help you create your custom migration plan, which will allow your team to be up and running right away.

We want to limit disruptions to your business during migration, so we recommend keeping employees’ involvement to a minimum so they can continue performing their regular duties. This will not only reduce stress; it will also help employees buy into the switch to Office 365 as they won’t get bogged down in the technical aspects of it all.

Easing employees’ concerns begins with keeping everyone in the loop. Let them know what they should expect during the move, as well as the timeline of migration activities that may impact them.



There are lots of tasks to be orchestrated at the time of the switch, and we will take care of it all to make sure your email is never interrupted, end users are well-informed, and the impact on your business is minimal.

By the time you get to Office 365, you’ll want to ensure readiness so your employees can take immediate advantage of its productivity and security benefits. Whether producing a training video, posting the information to your company’s intranet, or simply sending out a company-wide email with all the information staff members need – there are many sound approaches to training. Of course, we will help you and your team feel prepared and ready by providing the most useful documentation, resources, and training materials.

Migrating your company’s email to Office 365 is an important project that requires careful planning and execution. An experienced technology partner can guide you as you prepare for the switch, ensure that your data is migrated seamlessly with minimal disruption, and help you and your staff get the necessary training so you can be productive in the new environment.
