They are relying on the external partner to do this heavy lifting. Though Microsoft has increased responsibility for partners in their Cloud Solution Provider program to make the migration as seamless as possible, the success of migration is closely tied to the selection of the right office 365 vendor. It alone can emerge as the differentiator between a smooth migration and the one that goes sideways. The brighter point is there is a slew of transformation vendors out there, each with different strengths and specialties.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!-- New Campaign 12\/18\/2019 -->\n<div id=\"dccn-3645498117\"><\/div>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">\nvar ccs_cc_args = ccs_cc_args || [];\n\nccs_cc_args.push(['bannerHeight', '250']);\nccs_cc_args.push(['bannerWidth', '970']);\nccs_cc_args.push(['embed', 'lightbox']);\n\n(function () {\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0var o = ccs_cc_args; o.push(['_SKey', '1e967d83']); o.push(['_ZoneId', '3645498117']);\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0var sc = document.createElement('script'); sc.type = 'text\/javascript'; sc.async = true;\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0sc.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol\u00a0?

It depends a lot upon the type of support you\u2019re looking for. In\ncase you are working on a tighter budget and can\u2019t spend heavily on the prime\nofferings of vendors, your internal team has to take more burden of work. Or, if\nyou have an over-complicated environment, making a one-time big investment is\nmore prudent than being at the receiving end of massive loss all the time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The bottom-line is, do not remain stranded at the thread of\ncost alone. Instead, measure the value that the Office 365 migration vendor\nwill bring against how much work you\u2019re planning to perform internally.\nMoreover, as it\u2019s not always possible to predict the snags, migrations of this\ntype may overrun their scope and timeline.
