i3solutions’ Microsoft 365 Migration Services Models

We offer our clients a variety of Microsoft 365 migration models to choose from, depending on their corporate environment and migration needs. These include:

Cutover
Model

Migrate all your existing data, including existing mailboxes, distribution groups and contacts, at once. This model is available to organizations that do not need to migrate a lot of data.

Staged
Model

Migrate all your data in batches, over a period of time. This migration option suits organizations that have large bulks of content, including diverse customizations and integrations.

Hybrid
Model

Integrate Microsoft 365 solutions with on-premises servers, distributing migrated data and services between both environments. This migration approach makes sense for organizations that are not ready for a full implementation of cloud solutions.

Identity
Model

Standard identity: Migrate user accounts to the cloud while data remains on-premises.

Synchronized identity: Migrate all data to the cloud while managing users on-premises.

Federated identity: Migrate all data to the cloud and maintain users with single-sign-on capabilities.

Microsoft 365 migration services we provide

Our Microsoft 365 migration services take into account the varying and evolving needs of our clients as they transition from their on-premises or legacy solutions to the cloud. As a result, we provide:

Strategic Planning: Our process begins with an in-depth review of the deployment and its overall structure. This enables us isolate software inconsistencies and redundant components, as well as other potential flaws so we can fix them before commencing the migration.

Migration: Depending on the peculiar requirements of the deployment, we carry out the migration in line with the applicable model while ensuring quick turnaround and data integrity. In required cases, we are able to carry out the migration with little or no downtime.

Integration: We can integrate the migrated solution with other cloud applications or on-premises solutions to improve functionality and increase control over cross-system business processes.

Support: We provide ongoing support to our clients to aid user adoption and ensure the continued viability and functionality of the deployment.

Training: We provide training for our client’s users and admins to help improve capacity to manage and use the migrated solution effectively. This includes explaining how to ensure the security, stability and effective use of the suite.

Stalled migration: A migration project can experience hiccups due to a number of issues including inadequate assessment of deployment complexity or scope before attempting migration. We can help you ensure a smooth and hitch-free process when you work with us.
Obstacles with hybrid migration: Disruptions may arise in a hybrid migration when the process is not conducted with necessary attention to each migration detail. Organizations that work with us can expect a process free of complications as they benefit from our extensive experience and deep expertise with hybrid migrations.
Added complexity of custom solutions: Moving custom on-premises solutions can be quite tricky as this will often require additional development efforts to bring them in line with the requirements of the cloud environment. Our consultants are highly skilled and have no problems with managing the additional demands of migrating custom solutions.
Security and compliance issues: Security and compliance requirements can add an extra layer of complexity to migration projects. The consultants at i3solutions are Microsoft certified and can implement your migration in line with industry standards and internal policies.
User adoption: Migrated solutions can be difficult to get used to, especially where they significantly change the landscape and structure of the existing system. We provide training and ongoing support to boost user understanding and proficiency with the migrated solution, thereby enhancing user adoption.
