What \nthey should do to quickly turn their organization into a cloud friendly \nenterprise?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>This blog discusses some of the extremely \nimportant things that you must take into account before you jump to the \ncloud \u2013 whether SharePoint Online or Office 365.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1)&nbsp; Taking the first crucial step \u2013 Conduct a Pre-Migration Analysis<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Performing\n migration without proper analysis of data that you intend to migrate is\n one of the biggest security risks that no organization would ever want \nto take with their important information. Conducting a pre-migration \nanalysis helps an enterprise in many ways. Besides checking the \ncompatibility, it helps you optimize the whole migration plan along with\n processes so as to pre-identify the probability of a successful move, \nidentify potential migration issues that one may encounter during the \nwhole operation and get an overview of content so as to plan how much \nstorage you will need in the cloud to accommodate your data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2)<\/strong>&nbsp; <strong>Checking the state of your current data is important before Cloud Migration<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes,\n you heard that right!! Before you even think to migrate, it\u2019s important\n to check the state of your current data (both information &amp; \ncontent), know whether your files &amp; folders are evenly structured, \nestimate the probable speed of migration to get an idea about the time \nthat the migration operation will take and investigate if the migration \nwould be actually beneficial for your enterprise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Though it\u2019s a \ntime-consuming task to conduct a check on the current content state, it \nstill plays a significant role in detecting the migration performance \nwhether you\u2019re looking to move specifically to SharePoint Online or \nadopt the full Cloud suite \u2013 Office 365. One way to perform this crucial\n check is by organizing workshops with individuals who actually \nunderstand the content structure; how it can be stored &amp; what are \nthe ways to plan reorganization of the whole information architecture in\n the best possible way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3)&nbsp; Learning about new features and how to use them is critical for Cloud Success<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You\n can\u2019t just jump to the cloud because you\u2019ve decided to move your data \nand people around you are quickly transitioning to the new online \nsystem. For improved performance and smooth workflow even after \nperforming the migration process, you must get hands on training about \nthe comprehensive features that the platform offers to its users. After \nall, what\u2019s the use to spend thousands of dollars in switching your data\n from one place to another and scratch your head later when you face \ndifficulties in maintaining the whole infrastructure and managing \nworkflows &amp; communication on the cloud? Definitely nothing! So, it\u2019s\n better to first know how to jump to the cloud, deal with the new \nchallenges and then take the transition !!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>4)&nbsp; The Cost Factor \u2013 Evaluate what it costs to migrate to the Cloud and also evaluate the maintenance overheads<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Last,\n but not the least, don\u2019t forget to evaluate the cost factor of both \nmigration and maintenance. Immediately after you finalize your cloud \narchitecture, you must plan your cloud expenses beforehand like whether \nyou would like to pay for monthly Office 365 subscription or annual \nfees, evaluating the cost according to storage space needed for your \ncontent, what would the overheads involved in maintaining the \napplications &amp; services afterwards and what are your backup and \nrestore needs. Evaluating all this is important to figure out whether \ncloud would turn to be actually cost-effective for your organization or \nnot. There\u2019s no point to migrate only to know later that you\u2019re unable \nto maintain your new online system within your estimated budget and then\n repent later. It\u2019s better to first know how things work in the cloud, \nhow much it would cost you and then consider to take the big move.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SharePoint Online \u2013 the most powerful and rapidly growing platform typically used for enterprise collaboration along with Office 365 are becoming the popular ways to connect with experts across the globe, organize information, engage with people, share ideas and reinvent the way individuals across an enterprise work together in sync.
