Implementation progress

Planning stage

The risks of migration from the open source mail system were assessed, the detailed requirements for the new mail system were detailed, and during the Proof of Concept installation, it was demonstrated how the Exchange Online service meets the customer's requirements.

Development of the Hybrid Solution

Together with a Microsoft Premiere Support specialist, three alternative migration scenarios were prepared. An intermediate hybrid email architecture was selected, and pilot users were migrated in stages.

Testing Stage

The email functionality outside the organization's network was tested, antivirus and spam protection were checked, and the synchronization of emails, contacts, addresses, and calendars across various devices was monitored.

Full migration to the Clouds

The user data migration to the cloud was fully completed, the hybrid infrastructure was decommissioned, and the organization's IT staff were trained.

Testimonial

"Previously, email services were provided by six servers that used a lot of IT infrastructure resources, their administration was troublesome, and it was difficult to remove it in the event of a malfunction. In order to save resources, small capacity mailboxes were created for users, so users had to waste time managing mail archives. Within three months of moving to cloud-based Exchange Online e-mail. mail system and after acquiring 2300 licenses, we noticed that there are no more problems, now we can access the mail even when we are not at the workplace, and we spend less time handling mail. It is no longer necessary to invest in technical equipment, it is easier to manage the entire infrastructure, and the partner ensures its security, smooth operation and updates."
