Tool Vs Manual Migration

Many businesses consider taking an in-house approach of manually migrating users and data. While this option seems intuitive and involves little to no cost, it comes with a lot of limitations. Here’s a head-to-head comparison between a tool-based approach and a manual approach to migrate from Box to Microsoft 365:

How to Choose the Best Box to Office 365 Migration Tool

One of the best ways to choose the right tool to migrate Box to Microsoft 365 is to factor in your company’s migration use case. What is the reason your company wants to migrate? The migration partner and tool you choose must have a track record of helping businesses with similar use cases migrate successfully.

Another important variable to consider is your company’s migration needs and post-migration goals. Does your company want to migrate entire users and data? Is preserving all types of metadata important for user collaboration?

Prepare an Office 365 migration questionnaire and have all decision makers and stakeholders answer them. Check with the migration providers you shortlist if they can meet all your migration needs and goals.
