OneDrive migration myths
Here's a quick look at the migration myths that we cover in this episode.
Myth #1: Is migration only for on-premise customers, or customers who are trying to move between tenants?
Busted! Migration is not only for these customers, but also for those who might be coming from other cloud providers!
Myth #2: Migration is only for large enterprises or customers.
Busted! Migration is important for customers of ALL sizes, and Microsoft 365 provides unique value, regardless of your organization's size.
Myth #3: Throttling during migration is really bad.
Busted! Throttling is essential to ensuring that all of our customers have a fast experience using our product. We've continued to improve our service to ensure that you, or our partners, can get the maximum throughput possible.
Myth #4: Migration takes years.
Busted! Like anything in life, migrations will always go smoother if you plan ahead of time! Customers who come in with a plan are often able to migrate quickly, even when they have large amounts of data.
Myth #5: Microsoft will only help me migrate if I'm a large company.
Busted! While services like FastTrack are limited to customers of a certain size, the M365 admin center offers tooling and guidance for migration that ALL customers can take advantage of! We also work closely with many third-party providers to ensure all customers have options. Plus, you can join our monthly OneDrive office hours to ask questions.
