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
