A7 #CollabTalk User adoption rates, downtime, and tickets/issues are important, but, ultimately, it's about business outcome alignment. Evaluate whether the migration achieved its intended business goals (e.g., faster collaboration, cost savings, security improved).

Q7: What key metrics should organizations track to determine whether their migration was successful, both technically and from a user adoption perspective? #CollabTalk

submitted 3 days ago • 0 comments

A6 #CollabTalk You CANNOT over-communicate. Effective communication is CRITICAL, especially for user adoption. Provide clear timelines, expectations, and resources before, during, and after the migration to reduce anxiety and confusion.

submitted 3 days ago • 1 comment

A6 #CollabTalk Employ a phased migration approach. Most experts have attempted the over-the-weekend, all-at-once migration and they are problematic, at best. Learn from our mistakes. Migrate data in waves, focusing on low-risk departments first to build confidence.

A6 #CollabTalk Pilot Programs. Pilot pilot pilot. Run pilots with select teams to gather feedback and adjust processes before a full rollout.

A5: Senior management team, Marketing and Internal comms to support communication. Human Resources because they have so much content that is used by other parts of the business. Departments with Core Business Process ownership #CollabTalk

submitted 3 days ago • 0 comments

A5: Beyond IT, you need to involve the content owners in a migration and the change management (training & comms) team(s). Change needs commitment, an CM for both internal and external people to plan, map, train, and support throughout is essential to avoid confusion and blowback. #CollabTalk

Q6: How can organizations ensure a smooth transition for employees and minimize disruptions during and after migration? #CollabTalk

submitted 3 days ago • 0 comments

A5 #CollabTalk Another oft forgotten strategy is to work closely with your Change Management & Training leads. They can help develop user training and comms plans to support adoption. I just talked about this - in detail - on last week's #CollabTalk Podcast, if you're interested:

Q5: Beyond IT, which business stakeholders should be involved in a migration project, and what role should they play? #CollabTalk

A4 #CollabTalk For large data volumes or when WAN links are limited, specialized solutions are often required. Most of the folks participating on this tweetjam have relationships with all of the major migration vendors.

A4 #CollabTalk Just responded on a comment by Simon Doy on Bsky to this point: When data structures need to be transformed (e.g., classic SharePoint pages to modern), it could be a reason to remain on-prem, move to hybrid, or employ third-party tools to (at least attempt to) streamline the process.

Q4: What areas of the migration process often require third-party tools or specialized solutions, and how can organizations determine when built-in Microsoft tools are sufficient? #CollabTalk

A3 #CollabTalk “Big Bang” migrations can cause disruption. Consider a phased approach to minimize downtime and risk.

A3 #CollabTalk Even a small migration can be complex. Don't underestimate your migration - they can be more complex than expected. Pilot migrations help identify unforeseen issues early. Iterate, iterate, iterate on your plans.

Q3: What are some of the most common challenges and "gotchas" that organizations encounter during M365 migrations, and how can they be avoided? #CollabTalk

submitted 3 days ago • 0 comments

A2 #CollabTalk If significant gaps exist in user training, infrastructure, or stakeholder buy-in, these must be addressed before migrating.

A2 #CollabTalk You should have a defined governance model. An organization is "ready" when governance policies around data management, security, and compliance are in place. If you need help with this, this month's sponsor Smarter consulting can help:

A2 #CollabTalk IMHO, readiness is shown when there’s a clear understanding of why the migration is happening (cost savings, productivity gains, etc.). #KnowBeforeYouGo

Q2: What are the key signs that an organization is (or isn’t) ready for a migration to Microsoft 365, and what should be done before starting? #CollabTalk

submitted 3 days ago • 0 comments

A1 #CollabTalk I wouldn't be me if I didn't also mention compliance & governance requirements. You should identify any regulatory or legal constraints (e.g., data residency) that will impact migration decisions.

submitted 3 days ago • 0 comments

A1 #CollabTalk An access & permissions review is also critical. Analyze current permissions and sharing configurations to ensure a secure and organized structure post-migration.

submitted 3 days ago • 0 comments

A1 #CollabTalk Identify where data resides, how it’s being used, and what’s redundant, obsolete, or trivial (ROT). Clean up unnecessary data to streamline the migration.
