Organizations are migrating to the cloud to save money, become more efficient, and empower their users with the latest technology. Office 365 delivers all of this in a reliable, fast, and ever-expanding way, keeping you ahead of the competition. As the IT administrator of your network, you need to make the transition as painless as possible for your users. Learn everything you need to know and exactly what to do to ensure your Office 365 Exchange online migration is a success! This guide gives you everything you need to develop a successful migration plan to move from Exchange, Google, POP3, and IMAP systems to Office 365 with ease. We start by providing an overview of the Office 365 plans available and how to make a decision on what plan fits your organization. We then dive into topics such as the Office 365 Admin Portal, integration options for professionals and small businesses, integration options for enterprises, preparing for a simple migration, performing a simple migration, and preparing for a hybrid deployment.

Deploying a Hybrid Infrastructure – Exchange Hybrid

Summary


Configuring SharePoint hybrid features can be a daunting task and require a lot of planning and testing at every step along the way, but the results are well worth the effort. We have seen how configuring hybrid search allows us to extend our on-premises SharePoint environment into the cloud by making it easy to locate files regardless of their location. We have seen how we can expand our storage requirements without having to invest in new hardware or software by using OneDrive for Business hybrid and redirecting local users to SharePoint Online to access their personal files. Finally, we briefly looked at an example of using BCS, which allows us to securely publish sensitive data to external users.

Just remember that it's not just about implementing these features successfully, it's also about giving our users the best training possible so they can make use of them. This in turn results in more efficiency and productivity, and ultimately less calls to your helpdesk!
