Are you thinking about taking the first steps to move your business to the cloud? Office 365 is the fastest growing collection of cloud applications and is a great way to get started.<\/p>\n
Deciding to migrate to Office 365 is an easy decision to make. But, how will you implement? Will you hire a partner who has proven success in implementing Office 365 or will you attempt to do it on your own?<\/p>\n
Maybe you have a skilled IT team, or you want to give it a try on your own, because that would save you money, right? Unfortunately, going it alone doesn\u2019t always equate to being cost effective.\u00a0 A lot of customers who try to migrate on their own run into issues including potential loss of functionality, function redundancy, security leaks, archiving, duplication of data, cost, licensing and authentication.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s not that your IT staff can\u2019t handle it alone, but there is a lot of value in having a partner who is an expert in migrating to Office 365. Think about it, your organization will have to get training or learn as you go, to implement this suite of cloud applications one time, but we do it all the time.\u00a0 Not only that, but Microsoft recommends that you use service providers to help you make the switch. I know, I know, of course they do.. much like when you go to a home improvement store and buy a big appliance or carpeting, a door, etc. They offer and recommend that you use their installation services. Some of us take them up on it right away, and some of us give it a shot on our own first, which can result in needing to call them back later, sadly sometimes even after running into an issue that set the whole project back. Which is then more costly to have the experts come in and fix the damage we did to then finally do the installation that could have just been done right from the start. Much like a home improvement project, Microsoft recommends that you seek help from an IT consultant for a reason.\u00a0 And some installations are more cut and dry than others. When you start getting into the different types of migration, maybe a hybrid approach is the best solution for your organization, but it\u2019s a more difficult migration process.<\/p>\n
Here are a few additional reasons to hire a Microsoft partner to help with your Office 365 migration:<\/p>\n
