How to migrate from Exchange to Office 365

When using the appropriate method, data migration from Exchange to Office 365 is easier than ever. If planning a small number of mailbox transfers, then a manual procedure seems ideal for you.

Perhaps the biggest drawback in such a case is that migration to Office 365 may result in data loss, which is far from acceptable. Such a procedure is also time-consuming. That’s why an investment in third-party migration tools may be worthwhile.
