  • Inventory report of all source objects
  • Planning Meeting to discuss the following:
    • Object setup best practices
    • Object Provisioning Plan
  • Provision cloud-only objects in target

Note: Object reports and provisioning tools are available for the following platforms.

File migration reports:

    • Files that exist in the source but not the target post-migration are identified by file name and a + symbol
    • Files that exist in the target but not the source post-migration are identified by file name and a – symbol

Additional reports can potentially be provided or developed upon request. Additional fees will likely be required.

Review Meeting

During your 30-minute project review meeting, your Project Manager will review migration results and identify important best practices in the new platform so you can maximize ROI:

  • Migration results
    • Review the Completion reports, identify anything that stands out as unusual
  • Risk areas, problematic accounts
    • Identify mailboxes that have high volume of data storage and are approaching the data storage cap
    • Identify accounts with mail routing issues or naming conventions that may require adjustment or renaming
  • New platform recommendations
    • Review object types and Transend’s recommendations for provisioning new objects when necessary
    • Review the Online Help Center to identify available self-help materials
    • Review the Transend Learning Portal and the ongoing value it provides users and admins (subscription required)
    • Maintain data security when an employee leaves your organization (or is terminated)

Notes:

  • Your Project Review Meeting must be scheduled before the end of your Post-Migration Support term.

  • If the Project Review Meeting is not scheduled before the end of your Support term, you will instead receive an email with information that would have been covered in the meeting.
