5 Microsoft 365 Migration Tips to Ease Migration Pain Shared

HOBOKEN, N.J., Sept. 16, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Messaging Architects, an eMazzanti Technologies Company and NYC area email migration expert, shares five Microsoft 365 migration tips in a new article. The informative article first refers to migration horror stories about failed migrations.

The author then shares five recommendations for conducting a smooth migration, including starting with robust discovery, reducing ROT and addressing regulatory compliance. He then encourages migration leaders to focus on communication and to conduct critical post-migration tasks.

"Unexpected complications can result in migration delays or lost data," stated Greg Smith, Vice President of Services Delivery at Messaging Architects. "However, with careful planning, migrations can run smoothly."

Below are a few excerpts from the article, "5 Microsoft 365 Migration Tips Guaranteed to Ease Migration Pain."

Start with Robust Discovery

"The first stage of a successful migration involves a thorough discovery process. Begin by locating and cataloging data, from mailboxes to documents. For GroupWise migrations, this will also include personal archives. Understanding the amount and types of data to be migrated will prove critical."

Reduce ROT Before Microsoft 365 Migration

"Like any moving process, migration offers an opportunity to remove junk, rather than simply moving it to the new location. Look for redundant, obsolete and trivial (ROT) data in the old system. Determine what data you can safely delete and what data needs to move to an archive. Moving only relevant data to the new system will save time, money, and headaches."

Address Regulatory Compliance

"When analyzing the data and how to move it, keep in mind any regulatory concerns. For example, regulations may require the organization to retain certain types of data for five to seven years."

Focus on Communication

"Migrating to Microsoft 365 involves significant changes for end users. While a smooth migration process will minimize interruptions to daily work, users will likely experience times when certain services or data prove temporarily unavailable."
