Video: Choosing Your M365 Migration Path

Navigating a seamless Microsoft 365 migration can seem overwhelming if you’re not sure where to start. Discover what key components should be considered when starting a migration and the common pitfalls to avoid when planning your move.

You’ll learn:
  • Three approaches to migrating to Microsoft 365
  • The pros and cons of each migration approach
  • Key remote and cloud security risks

Moving to Microsoft 365 can feel overdue, but the hardest part is usually picking the right path. This video breaks down the three most common migration approaches CCB sees—cutover, hybrid, and hybrid “light”—so you can match the method to your timeline, your current email platform, and how much change your users can realistically absorb at once.

In the session, we’ll walk through what each option actually means in plain terms. You’ll see why a cutover can be faster but moves everyone at once, how hybrid lets you migrate in stages (often by department) with pilot users first, and where hybrid light sits in the middle with testing plus a more streamlined rollout. We’ll also call out the real-world tradeoffs: tool costs, infrastructure requirements, potential mail-routing delays, and how much end-user involvement is needed.

At CCB Technology, we help teams choose a migration plan that fits their environment instead of forcing a one-size-fits-all template. That can include looking at identity and password sync (AAD Connect/ADFS), SMTP relay needs for apps and devices, security controls, user training, and even whether older Office versions need upgrades to work smoothly with M365. If you want a clear, low-drama way to get into Microsoft 365, this video is a solid starting point.
