Watch Video View Presentation

Teams is one of those words that tends to be over-used in the Microsoft ecosystem; we could be referring to a Microsoft Team, a SharePoint Team Site, or your team. Whether you're already using Microsoft 365 or planning out your migration route, it is crucial your plan encompasses the future use of Microsoft Teams for communication and collaboration throughout your organization.

Taking a Teams First approach to migration planning ensures you will make the most of Microsoft 365 once you're there. In order to ensure we plan accordingly, we perform an inventory and report on all your existing file repositories, whether they are a File Share or SharePoint On-Premises. Understanding the magnitude of what needs to be migrated alongside discovery calls with the business can help us answer questions such as:

• What does a Team represent in your organization?
• What does a Channel represent in your organization?
• What does the underlying SharePoint site structure need to support?

With the above answered, we're able to put together a comprehensive migration plan for a successful migration into Microsoft 365.
