Moving to Office 365? Dig deep into your options first
Measure twice, cut once -- this wise adage explains the value of pausing and making sure you know the potential results of your decisions. With Office 365, there are so many different plans and options that it's important to know what you gain (or lose) before you choose one.
On the plus side, if you choose an option that doesn't match your needs, it's not horribly difficult to alter your plan and move your users over. In fact, for organizations with fewer than 300 people, Microsoft provides the Switch Plans wizard to help you, although performing the task manually is easy enough. But for those of you moving over from an existing on-premises Exchange, SharePoint, or Lync deployment, you'll want to make sure you know what you gain and lose in the process before you start.
