Migration  to  Office  365:Two  Distinct  Approaches

Migrating  Email  to  Office  365The  Two  Distinct  Approaches

• “Just  get  mailboxes  to  the  cloud  as  quickly  and  inexpensively  as  possible.”

• Cost  is  the  primary  management  objective

Migration  as  a  Commodity-­‐Focused  Project

Migration  as  a  Customer-­‐Focused  Project

• “Take  our  organization  to  the  cloud  while  meeting  our  unique  requirements,  providing  our  management  with  oversight,  and  not  interrupting  our  users  or  business.”

• Quality  is  the  primary  management  objective

Migrating  Email  to  Office  365:Migration  as  a  Commodity-­‐Focused  Project

Because  the  greatest  benefit  to  your  

organization  is  to  get  to  Office  365  ASAP

Because   large  sets  of  your  users  don’t  rely  on  email  to  complete  

their  day-­‐to-­‐day  objectives

(factory/warehouse  workers,  retail  store  clerks,  

students,  etc.)

Because  you  want  to  minimize  the  cost

Why  Treat  Migration  as  a  Commodity?

What’s  the  Best  Way  to  Accomplish  It?

It  offers  a  functional  migration  but  with  limitations• Migrates  mailboxes  but  not  public  

folders  or  large  archives

• Migrates  to  Office  365  exclusively

• Customer  control  over  migration  scheduling  is  limited

• Customer  insight  into  project  status  is  limited

• Communications  to  users  about  their  migration  is  limited

Migrating  Email  to  Office  365:Migration  as  a  Customer-­‐Focused  Project

Why  Treat  Migration  as  a  Customer-­‐Focused  Project?

Because  your  organization  does  not  stop  

functioning  while  you  are  migrating

Because  your  users  must  continuously  

access  their  mail  system  to  

communicate  via  email  internally  and  externally

Because  your  management  expects  the  

real-­‐time  status  of  the  project

Because  your  environment  is  unique  and  has  

needs  that  cannot  be  

satisfied  with  a  “one  size  fits  all”  

solution

What  Are  the  Key  Aspects  of  a  Customer-­‐Focused  Migration?

Continuous  interoperability/coexi

stence:  directory,  mail,  

calendar

Addressing  unique  requirements

Forecasting  and  reporting

User  notification Troubleshooting

Interoperability  challenges  between  legacy  and  Office  365

Examples  of  Unique  Requirements

• Public  folder  migration  

• Bi-­‐directional  public  folder  synchronization  (migrated  Office  365  users  using  OWA  or  Outlook  for  Mac  need  public  folder  access,  OWA  users)

• Increased  migration  velocity  (more  than  24/5  with  3  migration  time  slots  a  day)

• Large  set  of  archive  data  to  be  migrated

• Real-­‐time  migration  reports

• Automated  scheduling

• End  user  management  of  re-­‐scheduling  mailbox  migration

• Automated  end  user  notifications

• Hybrid  cannot  be  configured  within  environment
