Careful Microsoft 365 Migration Planning Delivers Recipe for Success

NYC area Microsoft 365 migration expert advocates detailed Microsoft 365 migration planning to migrate smoothly with compliance and security—in a new article from Messaging Architects

HOBOKEN, N.J., May 12, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Messaging Architects, an eMazzanti Technologies Company and Microsoft 365 migration expert, encourages careful Microsoft 365 migration planning in a new article. The informative article first asserts that asking the right questions from the beginning helps to ensure a migration process that runs smoothly.

The author then argues for involving the right people, including representatives from key areas, in the planning process. He then relates the importance of planning for security and regulatory compliance. He concludes by stating the importance of planning the migration with a focus on the end user.

"Migrating to Microsoft 365 can prove challenging," stated Greg Smith, Vice President of Services Delivery at Messaging Architects. "Taking the time to identify the scope of the project and involve key stakeholders up front will save time and headaches in the end."

Below are a few excerpts from the article, "Careful Microsoft 365 Migration Planning Delivers Recipe for Success."

Begin with the Right Questions

"What data needs to be migrated? Migration presents the perfect opportunity to destroy redundant, outdated, or trivial data. This may also be the time to remove unused mailboxes and inactive databases belonging to long-retired teams. Streamlining the data to migrate saves both time and money."

Involve the Right People

"Asking the right questions necessarily means involving the right people. IT staff need to be heavily involved in any migration process. However, to correctly determine what data needs to be migrated and what factors require consideration, other stakeholders also need a seat at the planning table."

Plan for Security and Regulatory Compliance

"Industry regulations and state privacy laws govern how organizations treat critical data, including email and document storage. Consequently, organizations need to ensure that migration happens in accordance with those regulations, as lack of compliance can prove costly."

Focus on the End User

"In the end, the success of any technology deployment depends on how the end users respond to the technology and to the migration process itself. For instance, if users cannot quickly find necessary data or easily use new features, they will resist implementing the technology. Likewise, if the migration process significantly interrupts workflows, users will complain."
