Many providers are raising cloud storage costs and many businesses are switching to cheaper storage and better teamwork tools. Microsoft 365 migration involves moving your organization’s data, including emails, files, and applications, from legacy systems to Microsoft 365’s cloud-based suite. But migrating documents and files without a strong partner can be a challenge. DryvIQ can easily address some of the most pressing challenges while migrating files to Microsoft 365, including to OneDrive and SharePoint Online.

1. Planning is Paramount: Begin with a thorough assessment of your current infrastructure. Understand the scope and scale of the data to be migrated. Set realistic timelines and milestones.
2. Prepare Your Environment: Ensure your current system meets the prerequisites for a seamless migration. This may involve updates or configurations to your existing setup.
3. Choose Your Migration Strategy: There are many different migration paths, including cutover, staged, and hybrid migrations. Select the one that aligns with your organization’s size, complexity, and timeline, and make sure you’re working with a migration partner with the expertise to get the job done without disruption.
4. Execute the Migration: Utilize a field-proven enterprise migration platform for the migration process, that enables you to monitor progress closely and can automatically address any migration issues.
5. Post-Migration Steps: Conduct a thorough post-migration review. Train your staff to maximize the benefits of Microsoft 365, and implement security and compliance measures.

Unstructured data is complicated, and manual migration methods lack scanning abilities to identify files and flag potential migration issues. Understanding this data is crucial for planning a successful Microsoft 365 migration.

With DryvIQ’s Microsoft 365 migration tool, you can fully discover your data and predict migration outcomes. Before migration, you can identify potential challenges and understand what the migration will look like, before moving a single file.

DryvIQ’s data discovery and classification capabilities go even further, enabling your organization to understand file sensitivity and plan an intelligent migration that reduces cost and risk.

User permissions can differ greatly between Microsoft 365 and other platforms. As a result, there is no way to automatically map them when using manual or basic migration methods. The DryvIQ platform can transform and map user accounts and group permissions to Microsoft 365 at scale.

Microsoft 365 permission structures don’t always translate well to other cloud content repositories. For example, permissions in Google and Microsoft OneDrive seem similar; they both follow the concept of owner, editor, and reader. However, both platforms differ in the way they store content.

To make a seamless migration, work with a migration platform that can automatically manage these types of discrepancies between platforms.

Manual file remediation after failed transfers is time-consuming and risky. Organizations risk losing file fidelity, history, or attributes due to incompatible name lengths, characters, or sizes between Microsoft 365 and other platforms.

DryvIQ offers a pre-remediation process to identify files it cannot migrate ahead of time. In cases like this, the DryvIQ platform can automatically truncate file path lengths or transform conflicting file names. In more complicated instances of incompatibility, DryvIQ will flag the administrator for any files requiring manual correction.

During your Microsoft 365 migration, employees may not be able to access content depending on the chosen migration methodology. Relying on end-users to move files themselves or a making a sudden cutover without a transition period can very easily disrupt business operations.

The DryvIQ platform’s real-time file synchronization eliminates this issue. DryvIQ calls this continuous copy, which constantly streams changes in files, folders, and even deletes between source and destination. The synchronization period aids change management and boosts user adoption, making users familiar with the new platform before migration.

The migration to Microsoft 365 opens a new chapter of operational efficiency, collaboration, and security for organizations. While the path to successful migration requires careful planning, execution, and follow-up, the payoff in terms of productivity and modernization cannot be overstated.

Remember, every migration presents its unique challenges, but with the right approach and tools, these can be seamlessly navigated. Are you ready to take your organization’s collaboration and productivity to new heights with a Microsoft 365 migration?
