What is Office 365 Migration Planning Tool?

Analyze your on-premises infrastructure and optimize your move to O365

The Office 365 Migration Planning Tool provides a complete pre-migration checklist/inventory of your on-premises infrastructure to assist you in planning the Office 365 migration. The migration planning tool covers the early stages of planning, guiding the user through the following essential steps for migrating Office 365:

Visibility - The tool provides visibility into all Office 365 components of the current on-premises infrastructure, such as Active Directory, Exchange, Office applications, user groups, and so on.

Inventory Analysis - The Office 365 Migration Planning Tool allows you to analyze all the data to understand what exactly needs to be migrated - such as users, applications, mailboxes, groups, public folders, and so on. You can decide what doesn't need to be included in the migration, thereby saving valuable licensing costs.

Security Basics - The tool brings valuable information about users, groups, mailboxes, objects, and others from the current local security configuration, and the impact this can have after switching to Office 365.

Selective migration - Clear unwanted migration data components to facilitate migration, such as removing unwanted users and groups, archiving mailboxes, public folders, distribution groups, and so on.
