Questions buyers ask
How do I choose a cloud migration consultant?
Check which platforms the consultant works with and at what partner level, ask for a migration of similar size, and ask who will run the environment once it has moved. PicNet's cloud migration FAQ covers how it approaches each step.
Do I need a top-tier AWS or Microsoft partner?
For large migrations, top-tier partners can access vendor funding programs and bigger teams. For small and mid-sized migrations, the experience of the people doing the work matters more than the tier.
What does a Microsoft 365 migration involve?
Moving email, files and identities from on-premises servers or another platform into Microsoft 365, then setting up security, backup and user support. File system migrations are a good time to simplify folder structures and permissions.
