It’s not just the thousands of mailboxes that we’ve migrated to Office 365
It’s not the bazillion bytes of data we’ve moved, secured, and managed, either. It’s the fact that you get an honest partner you can count on throughout the entire migration process (and beyond). Typically, that process consists of five core phases.
1
Discover
Now that we’ve shook hands, let’s get to business. During phase 1, we’ll do a deep-dive to get as complete a picture as possible of your existing email infrastructure.
- Existing and required licenses for MS Office
- Number of mailboxes
- Number of shared accounts
- Number of public folders
- Security and compliance needs
- Roadmap for migration
- Change management strategy
2
Configure
This is where our experience working with SMBs comes in handy. During phase 2, we’ll design the optimal configurations customized to your specific workflow needs, including email filtering, user groups, and security (MFA, ADP, etc.).
3
Train
Our goal is to put your people in position to take full advantage of Office 365 after the migration. To that end, we build communication templates to provide your people clear instructions on exactly what to expect.
4
Migrate
Change is difficult. We make the difficult transition smoother with a hybrid approach that minimizes downtime. While our team sets up your cloud environment and syncs email to the cloud, your user base will continue working off of the on-premise Exchange server. However, all of your data will still be in the cloud, so when it’s time to cut over to your new cloud platform for real, your end users will hardly feel a thing.
5
Manage Post-Migration
Count on us to over communicate the next steps and provide all necessary documentation. Most of our clients opt for ongoing managed services to maintain, monitor, and support their Office 365 subscriptions.
