Public folder migration

It’s no secret: Migrating public folders (and public folder archives) to Microsoft 365 modern public folders can be difficult.

Analyse your current public folder hierarchy

Visualise and drill into your public folders before migration to size up the effort and make informed decisions on what needs moving and where…and whether it needs moving at all.

Ensure a seamless end-user experience

By checking for mail-enabled folders, data ownership, and permissions in advance you can ensure that public folders behave correctly for on-premises and cloud-based users as they migrate.

Zero-downtime migration methodology

We can ensure your migration allows business activities to continue uninterrupted, with the option to synchronise content between on-prem and the cloud.

Cope with complexity

Modern public folders have many sizing requirements.  For example, your legacy pubic folder hierarchies may be too big to map directly into Microsoft 365.  We can help you tackle these niggling issues in advance of your move.

Escape the shackles of legacy workloads. Harness the benefits of Microsoft 365 any place, anywhere collaboration & Azure flexibility.
