Posted prices do not include taxes or charges for shipping and handling.

Email: Automated Migration

Email migration will be performed using a tool that migrates your existing mailboxes to Office 365 automatically.

The initial email migration typically takes between 2 and 14 days to complete. During this time users will continue to use the legacy email system. Once the migration has completed Organization will make the necessary changes to allow email to flow to Office 365. Users will then access their email through a web interface provided by Office 365 (Outlook Web Access) until desktop computers have been configured.

Considerations:

  • Differences in the existing environment may prevent an automated migration from working. Organization does not guarantee that an automated migration will work for all environments.
  • Pre-populated email addresses (those that automatically appear in the “To” field of an email message) may not be transferred.
  • Remote access to your Exchange servers and an account on the existing system with administrator credentials must be supplied to Organization. 
  • Email that has been archived will not be transferred.

 

Calendar: Automated Migration

Calendar migration will be performed automatically. Organization partner tools will connect directly to existing services.

See the Email Migration section above for details and considerations.

Contacts: Automated Migration

Contact migration will be performed automatically. Organization partner tools will connect directly to existing services.

See the Email Migration section above for details and considerations.

Outlook Client Configuration

User Outlook profiles will be reconfigured to use Office 365 Exchange using a third-party tool. Outlook must be 2013 or higher. Organization will provide instructions to NGO for manual configuration if needed. Note that Organization will not work directly on user workstations.
