What we migrate to Microsoft 365

SkyKick technology provides a comprehensive approach to Microsoft 365 email migrations from a variety of source servers, including Exchange, Microsoft 365 (tenant-to-tenant), Google, IMAP, and POP Whereas many migration tools only migrate server-side data, SkyKick technology also migrates client-side data and provides automation to reduce manual effort and risk across entire migration projects.

The SkyKick Migrations Full Suite helps IT Partners automate entire Microsoft 365 migration projects from pre-sales to project completion. You can use robust discovery automation to gather the information required to create a statement of work and develop a migration plan. Architect and configure the Microsoft 365 mailbox migration – including distribution groups, aliases, and shared mailboxes – with minimal effort. Once the project is activated, SkyKick Migration Sync technology orchestrates the entire migration according to your migration plan and keeps all the critical pieces in sync while you stay in control. The Migration Manager Dashboard provides a single interface to easily track, monitor and take action, and generate reports. Learn more about Migrations Full Suite..

SkyKick technology automatically syncs data before, during, and after the switch to ensure no data is lost or left behind. Also, because data is not moved, but instead is copied from the source and replicated in Microsoft 365, the data on the source server remains intact. For more information, see Server Sync.

Unlike task-level Microsoft 365 migration tools, SkyKick takes a project-level approach to Microsoft 365 email migrations, including a pre-migration project planner to more effectively scope and sell the migration, comprehensive automation across the entire migration project to reduce manual effort, and a migration dashboard that provides the visibility and control to manage multiple simultaneous migration projects. For more information, see SkyKick Microsoft 365 Migration.

• Microsoft 365 accounts are already configured, and only email data needs to be migrated
• Not a POP or IMAP migration in which some or all email data is on the client rather than the server
• Projects in which end users do not need the SkyKick Outlook Assistant to automatically configure their Outlook to work with Microsoft 365.
• Customers with all deskless workers
• Mac shops

Migrations Full Suite vNext is optimized for cutover migrations from a few seats to larger, more complicated projects, including multi-server, multi-domain discovery, detailed account configuration, and staged migrations.

Because no two migrations are identical, it is difficult to predict precisely how long a migration will take. This is due to a variety of factors, including migration method, data source, data type and density, network performance, end-user engagement, and throttling, that can extend the duration required to complete the migration. However, SkyKick makes it easy to schedule and adjust a migration date, scope, and requirements, depending on the desired timeline.
