Move with ZeroIMPACT. Tighten security. Stay in control.

Organizations are sprinting to Office 365. Some organizations will strive to be 100% in the cloud, but many are heavily invested in legacy platforms and will need to support a hybrid model for the foreseeable future. In either scenario, it’s easy to see why Office 365 is so popular. Office 365 helps organizations save money, become more agile and drive innovation. But moving to Office 365 doesn’t come without risk and challenges.

Migrations are a critical step to managing your ever-changing and expanding Microsoft platforms. So whether you’re moving from Exchange, Outlook PSTs, third-party archives or non-Microsoft platforms like Notes or Gmail, or you’re planning a tenant-to-tenant consolidation following a merger or acquisition, migrations can be labor intensive and fraught with risk. If not done correctly, they can drain time, resources and budget.

Conquer the challenges of Office 365, Azure AD and hybrid AD management with Quest solutions to simplify migration, security and management. Quest solutions help you stay in control so you can:

  • Control costs and mitigate risk with ZeroIMPACT Office 365 migrations and tenant-to-tenant consolidations
  • Enable effective pre-migration planning with thorough assessments and remediation
