Tips for Australian Firms Migrating from Slack to Microsoft Teams

Australian business migrating from Slack to Microsoft Teams, or are in the process of undertaking the move, must have a proper plan that addresses all the important areas, such as:

• Migration use case
• Migration goals (first year and subsequent years)
• Australian security regulations
• Change management
• Post-migration integration

On your journey to getting started in the planning process, you can refer to some of the actionable insights we have shared in this post.

At CloudFuze, we have a lot of experience with cloud migrations in Australia having helped many Australian businesses successfully migrate.

Aligning With the Migration Use Case

Almost always, the use case matters a lot when it comes to planning a Slack to Teams migration or any other cloud migration. For example, your company might be planning to migrate Slack to Teams for Microsoft 365 consolidation. In such cases, your team must plan the migration as per the use case, which can involve:

• Completely moving away from Slack to adopt Teams in Microsoft 365
• Decomissioning Slack environment before license renewal
• Re-integrate third-party apps integrated into Slack in Teams

With this approach, your team can enable your company to achieve the migration goals and gain the desired ROI out of the migration spend.

Complying with Australian Security Regulations

Another important tip or best practice we would like to share is security and compliance. It is important that your company, along with the migration service provider, complies with the country’s security regulations, such as:

• Notifiable Data Breaches (NDB) scheme
• Privacy Act 1988

On the technical side of things, make sure that the Slack to Teams migration tool (your team plans to use) implements the industry-standard OAuth protocol to retrieve information about Slack workspaces, channels, memberships, messages, and metadata in secure ways.

On-Site (Australia) and Remote Availability of the Migration Team
