Challenges to the east. Challenges to the west. Challenges to the south. Challenges to the north. At Quest, we know an Office 365 migration is no small feat. And it can feel like you're devising a plan for battle, because when you risk losing the throne, or in your case, loads of valuable data, the weight of a kingdom is on your shoulders.
But when challenges are coming from all around, we got what it takes to help you overcome the obstacles that stand in your way of getting to the Cloud.
So where do you start? Like any good commander, start by taking stock of your forces. Assess your environment to decide what should be migrated and then optimize your current environment for the move.
Next, take into account how users will coexist during the move. Will enemy factions unite to become one? Or will you need to take preventive measures so uneasiness and descent don't grow among users?
Next, comes testing your move to ensure the desired outcome. In battle there are no practice runs, but you've got the opportunity. So make sure to test your migration plan to validate procedures and root out problems before you feel the heat of battle.
Finally, decide when the scheduled attack, or migration, is most advantageous. Can it be completed during off-work hours? Or will users need to go without certain resources for a period of time?
When it comes to ensuring the safety of your kingdom, you don't want to leave anything to chance. And the same goes for an Office 365 migration.
Learn all eight steps needed for ensuring a successful migration. And see for yourself how you can keep your throne now and in the foreseeable future.
