End User Experience During Migration: What to Expect

Date: September 22nd
Time: 11:00am ET
Location: Microsoft Teams Townhall

One of the most common questions during any migration is, “What will the end user experience look like?” From agent prompts and workstation cutovers to self-service emails and login steps, there are multiple points where the end-user experience can impact productivity if not handled carefully.

In this Skills 101 session, we’ll walk through how On Demand Migration impacts end users across different migration scenarios. We’ll focus on what to expect during each phase of migration and what to plan for to reduce confusion during cutover.

We’ll explore:

  • Desktop Update Agent (DUA): What users experience during tenant-to-tenant migrations and how the DUA process guides them through transition steps
  • Workstation migrations (ODM AD agent): How admin-driven and self-service cutovers impact users differently and what they are prompted to do during each
  • Self-service migration experience: What users receive, how they interact with migration emails, and what the login and cutover process looks like
  • Agent deployment and authentication updates: How agents are installed and updated and what that looks like from the end-user side
  • Customization options: Where messaging and communication can be adjusted to improve clarity and reduce disruption

By the end of the session, you’ll have a clearer understanding of how migrations impact end users in practice and how ODM helps you plan for a smoother transition.

Know Before You Move: Power BI Migration with On Demand Migration

Date: October 22nd
Time: 11:00am ET
Location: Microsoft Teams Townhall

A Power BI migration starts well before anything is moved. The first step is understanding what exists in your source tenant, what On Demand Migration supports, and where there may be limitations or dependencies that need to be planned for.

In this Skills 101 session, we’ll focus on the groundwork behind a successful Power BI migration and show how discovery, reporting, and preparation help you make better decisions before migration begins.

We’ll cover:

  • Supported content and limitations - what moves in Power BI and what to keep in mind
  • Tenant readiness - the permissions and consent needed to connect source and target environments
  • Discovery and reporting - how to build an inventory of Power BI content and understand migration scope
  • Migration planning - mapping, provisioning, and the considerations that come before migration
  • Content migration - moving workspaces, connections, and permissions from source to target

We’ll finish with live Q&A, so bring your questions about Power BI discovery, planning, and migration.

This session also sets the stage for our follow-up webcast on migrating Power Apps and Power Automate, where connections and dependencies become an even bigger part of the migration story.
