Tip 1: Plan Exchange migration thoroughly

A successful migration begins with a thorough plan. Clearly outline your migration goals, assess your current server infrastructure, and establish a realistic timeline. Consider factors such as the size of your organization, the complexity of your data, and potential downtime implications. A well-structured plan not only serves as a roadmap but also helps in anticipating and mitigating challenges that may arise during the migration process.
