Microsoft 365 Migrations & Strategy

Move to Microsoft 365, consolidate what you already have, or separate what no longer belongs together. Valto plans and delivers Microsoft 365 migrations: from Google Workspace, file servers, Dropbox and legacy SharePoint, and tenant to tenant after a merger, acquisition or divestiture. Our specialists manage every stage, from assessment and destination architecture through to migration, validation, governance and user adoption, with the scope and cost agreed before work begins.

Overview

A successful migration starts with the right strategy

Moving data is only one part of a successful Microsoft 365 migration. Without careful planning, organisations can carry outdated structures, excessive permissions and poor governance into their new environment. Valto takes a business-first approach. Our Microsoft 365 consultants assess your current platforms, content, security and working practices before recommending the right migration route. We help you decide what should move, how it should be structured and how Microsoft 365 can support the way your organisation wants to work. Deciding what does not move is part of it. Fifteen years of file shares rarely all deserve migrating, and agreeing what gets archived or retired is usually where both the cost and the risk of a migration are reduced. The result is not simply a completed migration. It is a secure, governed and connected Microsoft 365 environment designed to deliver long-term value.

What can Valto migrate?

Our specialists assess each source platform, workload and dependency before recommending the most appropriate migration approach. Every project is tailored around your organisation, data and operational requirements.

Google Workspace to Microsoft 365

Migrate email, calendars, files and collaboration workloads into Microsoft 365 with comprehensive planning, mapping and validation from our experienced team.

Tenant-to-tenant migrations

Consolidate or separate users, data and services following mergers, acquisitions, divestitures or organisational change, including identity, mailboxes, SharePoint, Teams and the coexistence period in between.

SharePoint and OneDrive migrations

Move and restructure content while improving permissions, information architecture, search and document management.

File server migrations

Replace legacy shared drives with a structured, searchable and governed Microsoft 365 environment, and agree what is archived rather than carried across.

Microsoft Teams migrations

Move Teams, channels, files and collaboration structures while helping avoid unnecessary sprawl in the destination environment.

Dropbox and cloud storage migrations

Bring fragmented information from Dropbox, Box and Google Drive into a connected Microsoft platform with improved ownership, access controls and governance.

Watch: Microsoft 365 tenant migrations explained

Microsoft 365 tenant migrations are becoming increasingly common as organisations grow through mergers and acquisitions. In this discussion, Valto's Modern Workplace team explores the challenges, risks and best practices involved in tenant-to-tenant migrations, including security assessments, identity management, migration planning and user adoption.

Common migration challenges we solve

Expertise for the issues that make migrations complex

Most migration risks are not caused by the act of transferring data. They arise from unclear ownership, poor permissions, inconsistent content structures and dependencies that have not been identified early enough. Our consultants uncover these challenges during discovery rather than allowing them to become problems during migration. We help organisations address:

  • Unstructured and duplicated content
  • Complex permissions and external sharing
  • Multiple tenants and collaboration platforms
  • Legacy file paths and application dependencies
  • Security and compliance requirements

How we deliver Microsoft 365 migrations

From understanding what you have and what it depends on, through to a destination that is structured properly, validated before cutover, and adopted afterwards.

    Discovery

    Understand your environment before anything moves

    Our consultants assess platforms, workloads, users, content volumes, permissions and dependencies. This detailed discovery gives us the insight needed to identify risk early and define a realistic migration scope.

    Strategy

    Design the right destination

    We work with your stakeholders to define the migration approach, destination architecture, governance requirements and measures of success. This helps ensure the new environment supports your future needs rather than replicating existing limitations.

Questions, answered plainly

Learn more about how Microsoft 365 migrations & strategy can support your business objectives.

Our consultants can support migrations involving email, calendars, files, SharePoint, OneDrive, Teams and a range of third-party collaboration and storage platforms. We begin by assessing the source environment and dependencies before confirming the recommended approach.
Yes. Valto supports migrations from Google Workspace into Microsoft 365, including relevant email, calendar, file and collaboration workloads. We provide planning, preparation, migration, validation and user support throughout the project.
A tenant-to-tenant migration moves users, data and Microsoft 365 workloads from one tenant to another. These projects commonly support mergers, acquisitions, divestitures or organisational restructuring. Our specialists help manage the technical and operational dependencies across the affected services.
Our consultants design migration plans to minimise disruption and maintain business continuity wherever possible. The exact approach depends on the platforms, workloads and complexity involved, which we assess before confirming the migration plan.
Testing and validation are built into our delivery approach. We agree success criteria, test representative content and validate migrated workloads before completion. Any exceptions are identified and managed as part of the project.
The timeframe depends on the number of users, volume and complexity of data, source platforms and workloads involved. Following discovery, Valto provides a defined scope and realistic delivery plan based on your environment.
We scope from discovery rather than from a guess. Discovery establishes content volumes, users, permissions, dependencies and what actually needs to move, and the proposal that follows sets out the approach, deliverables and cost before any migration work begins. If discovery changes the picture, we would rather tell you at that point than halfway through.
It gets a decision rather than a default. Some is archived, some is retired, some stays where it is for a defined period. Fifteen years of file shares rarely all deserve migrating, and agreeing this early is where most of the cost and risk of a migration comes out.
Both, and separating them is a false economy. A migration is the one moment when permissions, sharing, retention and structure can be fixed at no extra disruption. Move the content without doing that and you have carried the same problems into a new platform, which is exactly what the strategy work is there to prevent.
