We are a Minneapolis based company with 11 offices, and 2 subsidiaries. Our Exchange 2007 environment was at a breaking point so we needed to make a decision between Exchange 2007 to Exchange 2013 migration, or migrate to Office 365. We opted to migrate to Office 365, but had minimal internal experience with Office 365, and no Office 365 migration experience. We interviewed 3 consulting firms to assist us with our Exchange to Office 365 migration and chose Digital Winter as the lead on the project. The migration was fairly involved as we had a number of significant issues with our production Exchange environment, and multiple Exchange deployments across our subsidiaries. There were bumps in the road during the migration and cutover to Office 365 Exchange, but nothing that impacted end users in any significant way. It was honestly better than I expected. This is basically my highest compliment as 15 years in IT has made me a total project skeptic and fairly critical. So, to summarize, beat my expectations! ...read more
