Below are a few excerpts from the article, "Exchange to Microsoft 365 Migration Tips for a Seamless Transition."
Take Time to Prepare the Microsoft 365 Environment
"Before moving any data over to the new system, take time to thoughtfully prepare the destination environment. This will involve talking with business stakeholders to determine workflows and how data should be structured. You will need to purchase the right type and number of licenses. And you will need to set up users and associated permissions."
"Migration also presents a good time to take a close look at the cyber security and information governance features in Microsoft 365. With proper configuration, you can improve data security and governance right from the start."
Avoid Common Migration Failure Scenarios
"Insufficient bandwidth – Microsoft 365 operates primarily in the cloud. As a result, the migration process consumes a fair amount of bandwidth. Make sure you have enough bandwidth. In addition, conduct file migration outside of business hours and make sure that no maintenance tasks are running during the migration."
"Migrating too many mailboxes at once – For a staged or hybrid migration, you will need to find the optimal number of mailboxes to migrate simultaneously. Migrating too much data at once will slow down the process."
