Microsoft Office 365 Migration

Migration to Office 365 can become a foundation for creating an effective digital workplace. This gives businesses a wide range of robust productivity, collaboration, project management, data analytics, and other tools, as well as overall cloud benefits like flexibility, mobile access, and online document collaboration.

With ScienceSoft, businesses can easily switch from on-premises, cloud, or hybrid solutions to Office 365. Based on our consulting practice for SharePoint and Office 365 Migration, we guide our clients through the complete migration path and ensure that the Migrated solution works properly and meets user collaboration expectations.

Office 365 Migration Models:

We offer clients the opportunity to choose between various migration models.

• Transition migration: We move all data, mailboxes, and features on-premises or in the cloud to Office 365 at once. This migration method is suitable for deployments that do not contain large amounts of content.
• Gradual migration: We divide the migration process into several phases and migrate the solutions and their contents in small batches. This is the right migration option for large deployments that contain a variety of custom solutions, integrations, diversified content, and features.
• Hybrid migration: We distribute migrated data and services between a local deployment and a cloud deployment to ensure comfortable work in both environments. Hybrid migration is suitable for companies that are not ready to fully switch to the cloud due to compliance restrictions or internal guidelines.
• DirSync and Single Sign-On (SSO): We migrate all data to the cloud while Active Directory remains local. With this migration approach, companies can make the most of cloud collaboration while maintaining full control over Office 365 users.

WHY MIGRATE TO OFFICE 365?

Migration to Office 365 is an important strategic step for companies looking to rebuild their infrastructure. Migration to Office 365 provides businesses with a number of benefits:

Optimized infrastructure: By moving to the cloud, companies can get rid of the heavy server-based environment and rethink the burden on their IT departments, spending more time on critical issues like user adoption.

Support and maintenance facilitated: With Office 365, companies can minimize the effort to support their solutions and focus on their business activities instead of software problems.

Advanced collaboration features: With their cloud expertise, companies can offer their employees numerous collaboration options, including shared team websites, group conversations, chats, video conferencing, and more.

Connected cloud environment: For companies using other cloud solutions, introducing Office 365 may be the right way to connect different systems and offer comprehensive collaboration and content management to all employees where cloud applications work.

OFFICE UR 365 ALL INCLUSIVE MIGRATION SERVICES

Different business goals and infrastructure specifications require different Office 365 migration methods. To meet the special needs of our customers, we have put together our migration service kit to support them before, during, and after migration.

1. Pre-migration activities

We perform a thorough analysis of your existing implementation to identify and correct inconsistencies and software errors before beginning the migration process. We also evaluate the overall structure of the current solution and remove unnecessary components. We analyze the content and user lists and remove obsolete items.

2.               Integration with other cloud solutions

Once we've migrated your solution to Office 365, we can help you integrate your new Office 365 deployment into other cloud or on-premises applications. The integration enables CRM, ERP, BI, project management and other systems users to work well organized and securely together. The integration also enables companies to centralize content management and better control business processes across systems.

3.               Post-migration training

We offer training for business users and IT specialists, which explains how the suite can be managed and used efficiently on different devices. In the Office 365 administrator training, we show how you can ensure the security, stable performance, and high user acceptance of the solution.

4.              Post-migration support

We are always ready to support our customers in the post-migration period to ensure the profitability of the migrated solution, expand its functionality and provide support to IT specialists and end users. We create a customized support package tailored to your business needs, its complexity of deployment, and the number of active users so you can get the most out of Office 365.

5.              Cloud license and account management

As a cloud service provider, we officially resell Office 365 licenses at an advantageous price and offer our customers consolidated billing for licenses and our services. We also manage licenses and Office 365 accounts, including services like account settings, alarms and notifications, adding and removing licenses, changing a subscription plan and more.

OFFICE 365 MIGRATORY CHALLENGES WE SOLVE

Migration blocked: A company can start migrating to the cloud without first assessing the status of its existing deployment, overestimating the capabilities of its internal IT specialists, or underestimating the complexity of the migration process. These are just a few possible gaps that can lead to a stalled Office 365 migration project. If you are affected by migration issues, contact ScienceSoft to complete your migration quickly and successfully.

Disrupted local and cloud environments: Hybrid migration requires excellent knowledge of cloud and on-premises deployment and special attention to every detail of migration. Hybrid migration errors can cause authentication issues, sync issues, and cumbersome performance in both environments. We can help you avoid these difficulties and ensure that users work seamlessly in a migrated hybrid solution.

Failed migration of custom solutions: Moving custom on-premises solutions can be an obstacle to your cloud migration project. In most cases, custom solution migration requires additional development effort to optimize, restore, or redesign existing customizations from scratch to meet the needs of the cloud environment. ScienceSoft developers can easily do this.

Security and compliance issues: For many companies, migrating to Office 365 involves a number of security and compliance issues. By choosing ScienceSoft as your migration partner, companies can be assured that their cloud and hybrid solutions comply with Microsoft best practices and industry standards (ISO 27001, EUMC, HIPAA BAA, FISMA, etc.) and companies fully comply with the guidelines.

Accept Office 365 users: Poor user acceptance can ruin your migration project, even if the migration itself was successful. To avoid rejecting a new solution and using it poorly, our Office 365 consultants train different user groups and provide practical recommendations on how to use Office 365 for collaboration, project management, content management, and other processes.
