File Migration to Microsoft 365

Organizations typically manage a variety of file types, including standard business documents (Microsoft Office files such as Word and Excel), Adobe PDFs, media content like images and videos, and more. These files can be seamlessly integrated into SharePoint Online, Microsoft Teams, Azure Storage, and Microsoft Syntex.

Personal Files. Users are stored on local devices and file shares for easy access and organization.

Windows File Servers. Microsoft Windows Servers that host file shares for users, departments, and the organization.

Departmental Files. Departmental files (e.g., HR, Finance, IT) are often hosted on a separate folder or share within a File Server.

Network Attached Storage (NAS). NAS devices remain popular sources of storage of files. No problem in migrating their contentsto Microsoft 365 or Azure storage.

Organizational Files. Used througout the organization for planning, goals, KPI's, and more that could be located on shares, cloud, and other file providers.

Cloud Storage services. Other popular file services are provided via cloud file services, such as Google Drive, DropBox, Box, AWS, and yes SharePoint Online

What you're looking to avoid

While every migration is unique, they typically involve similar stages: assessment, planning, migration, and communication. The key is identifying potential pitfalls that could affect success, such as issues with access, security, compliance, and data loss.

Stopping the Business. Poor planning and communication can create major impacts to regular business operations.

Degradation of Security. Migrations should include meeting or improving your security posture, not reducing it or doing it later.

Losing Data. Maintaining data fidelity from source to target is a must.

Sensitive Data Exposure. Command and control during and after a migration is critical. Don't let others tell you otherwise.

Losing Control. Poor planning and communication can create major impacts to regular business operations.

Over Licensing. It's easy to purchase more than you need and have overlapping costs.

Identity with Microsoft Entra ID

Everything Begins with Identity. A well-executed identity management strategy is fundamental to any successful Microsoft Office 365 migration. Whether your organization operates in a cloud-based, hybrid, or on-premises environment, managing identities is essential to ensure secure access to resources.

User and Groups - It's more than just usernames and passwords; planning roles, permissions, and group assignments is essential for a successful migration.

Applications - Applications frequently have unique identities that may need updating or migration.

Hybrid Identity with Windows Active Directory - Microsoft Windows Servers hosting file shares for users, departments, and the entire organization.

Desktops and Mobiles - Desktops and devices also possess unique identities. Migrations can significantly impact these devices and their users.
