The problem
Woodchester Mansion’s legacy IMAP email system presented several challenges:
- Security Risks: The system was outdated and lacked robust security features.
- High Costs: Maintaining the IMAP system was expensive, whereas Office 365 offered cost-free options for non-profits.
- Limited Collaboration: The system did not support modern collaboration tools, hindering efficient communication and document management.
Our approach
Intelligent Decisioning developed a structured approach to ensure a seamless migration:
- Assessment and Planning: Conducted a thorough evaluation of the existing email infrastructure and formulated a migration strategy.
- Pre-Migration Preparation: Ensured data backups were in place and informed users about the upcoming changes.
- Migration Execution: Leveraged MigrationWiz to efficiently transfer email data to Office 365.
- Post-Migration Support: Provided ongoing support to address any issues and ensure a smooth transition.
Our transition to Office 365, facilitated by Intelligent Decisioning and MigrationWiz, has been remarkably smooth. We’ve moved from an outdated and costly email system to a secure, modern platform at no cost. The integration of Microsoft Teams and SharePoint has revolutionized our collaboration efforts. We’re truly impressed with the outcome.
