Assessments to Optimize Microsoft 365 Migrations
With the continued rise of tenant-to-tenant migrations in Microsoft 365, IT professionals are spending hours manually pulling together data, wasting time and energy during project scoping.
Visibility into the migration data before starting a project is essential to the success of the migration itself. IT professionals are looking to streamline migrations, avoid potential roadblocks and provide additional value to customers.
You can ensure a smooth migration by assessing your Microsoft 365 tenant environment for visibility into the size and complexity of mailboxes, OneDrive For Business, SharePoint Online, Microsoft Teams, Public Folders, and more.

Assessments allow you to analyze a Microsoft 365 environment with little or no effort, generating a comprehensive report on all migration data with one click. Optimize your migration planning to:
Migrate only the data you care about
Depending on the timeline, your organization may need to make choices about what data can be moved within the time frame defined.
Before a migration, assessing the data and identifying where you can clean it up will alleviate potential headaches. In doing this, you can reduce migration costs by only migrating the data you need and remove unnecessary clutter in the destination environment.
Use our assessments to discover what type and how much data you have in your environment. Depending on the system, you may also be able to see usage information to determine if the data is still relevant and in use.
Avoid surprises and potential roadblocks
Scoping the migration upfront is important to setting expectations for both costs and timeframes. The amount of data is generally the largest variable in driving cost and timeline.
By determining how much data you plan to migrate, you can leverage those insights to:
Estimate the cost of migration tools
Determine timeframe of migration based on the amount of data
Set expectations and ensure that there is no downtime with a pre-mature cut-over
Validate the migration
Obvious issues will surface after migration, but most problems do not arise immediately. Because of data sprawling, missing data may not be as noticeable because of the users inability to find data.
Regardless of what migration solution or method was used, having a post-migration report to reference is useful to sanitize whether the migration was successful and long-term problems that could potentially be blamed on the migration project.
