Business Challenges
- The client used (and was paying for) two different cloud platforms (Box and M365) for content storage and collaboration. On Prem File Shares were distributed across 27 countries.
- Approx. 95% of the Box data was stored in a single account having folders shared with thousands of users. IT wanted to move OnPrem File Shares to cloud to save costs.
- Users faced challenges while collaborating on files due to the usage of two different cloud platforms.
- Business Users were reluctant to move away from Box.
Our Solution Highlights

- A Pre and Post Migration checklist was created and distributed to all users at the onset of the Migration planning. This helped each end user get ready for the migration and be prepared for the post migration environment.
- Thorough review and check were performed on current environment, user mailboxes, client versions and installations, network capacity, licenses needed going forward etc.
