The Challenge
Appelsiini found themselves with 3 customers (totaling about 8600 mailboxes) needing to migrate off their existing mail systems with only four weeks before the customers’ servers were scheduled for a hard shutdown. If Appelsiini couldn’t complete the migration by then, the customers would either lose their data or be forced to renew their service agreement for an additional year, doubling their service expenses as they paid for both old and new mail systems for an entire year. Each of the clients were migrating to Microsoft Office 365 for its ability to provide the most current services and software available on an enterprise cloud platform.
About The Customer
Founded in Helsinki, Finland in 1999, Appelsiini delivers a wide range of IT consulting, application development, and outsourcing and support services. Appelsiini aims to provide ongoing IT services and to act as a long-term and reliable partner for customers. With four offices and 310 service professionals, Appelsiini focuses on high customer satisfaction, deep technology expertise and dependable customer-oriented operations. Part of the Elisa Corporation, Appelsiini was recently named the Microsoft Country Partner of the Year in Finland thanks to their continued record of excellence and success helping their clients with Office 365.
The Solution
Appelsiini used MigrationWiz to perform the migration in time. MigrationWiz was able to perform the migration in time, and BitTitan’s 24/7 support helped circumvent throttling issues. When additional assistance was necessary due to Microsoft’s throttling policy inhibiting the migration, Kankare turned to our 24/7 Tier One support. Kankare was very satisfied with the resolutions provided by support, which is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, by submitting a request directly from the website. MigrationWiz proved to be a fast and efficient tool for Appelsiini’s projects. They migrated over 2TB of data with only four weeks to plan, test, migrate, and check results. The Powershell features made the large migrations jobs run smoother for time-saving results.
