Drive your O�ce 365 deployment
Microsoft O�ce 365 o�ers tremendous potential in terms of improved communication and collaboration. However, it also provides challenges that include changing infrastructure requirements, determining deployment approach, and ensuring an optimal user experience.
With the complexity involved, many �rms are taking an “evolutionary” implementation approach-one that employs a hybrid mix of cloud and on-premises tools, and a phased and deliberate pace of deployment.
In fact, 62% of O�ce 365 organizations choose a hybrid deployment strategywith the remainder taking a completecloud approach.1

Rollout approaches di�er2:
Rollouts also vary by the sizeof the organization2:
Over 50% of �rms with 1,000-5,000 employees use a limited pilot approach, followed by full-scale launch
Firms with 10,000 + employees primarilyuse a phased rolloutby business group,region, etc.
Over 70% of �rmswith less than 1,000 employees use a“big bang” approach
DXC Technology believes many �rms take the phased approach too far and stretch out implementations, reducing value and increasing cost.

“If you have completed the implementation,how long did it take fromstart to �nish?”
While there are merits to a phased ap-proach, it can also be slow:
Why does it take too long?
