Migrate Dropbox to Office 365 SharePoint with High ROI

When planning to migrate Dropbox to Office 365 SharePoint Online, gaining a good ROI (return on investment) should be one of the focus areas, regardless of your migration use case. But it is easier said than done.
Achieving a good or a high ROI from a Dropbox to SharePoint migration involves taking a strategic approach and ensuring no element of the migration goes off track.
Here are some of the strategic approaches you can take:

1. Perform a Cost Benefit Analysis

First off, it’s best to perform a cost benefit analysis of cloud migration to understand or predict the benefits your company can gain from the migration spend. If the migration project is just in talks, understanding whether moving to SharePoint Online will be truly beneficial can help in making final decisions.
Performing a proper cost-benefit analysis can also paint a picture of the ROI your company can gain from the migration. However, it is critical to consider all the aspects of the migration to make the cost benefit analysis close-to-accurate, such as:

• The migration use case
• The data and users to migrate
• The total allocated budget
• Anticipated benefits of embracing SharePoint Online

2. Prepare the Scope of Work Precisely

The art of gaining a high ROI from a Dropbox to Office 365 SharePoint migration (or any other cloud storage migration) is to optimize the scope of work. This means that your team must focus on planning a scope of work that’s neither underdone nor overdone.

A well-optimized scope of work includes action items and migrations that are specific to your company’s migration use case and overall requirements. As a result, you can avoid overspending in the migration and increase the odds of a higher ROI.

3. Leverage A White Glove Service

Any oversight or mistake when migrating Dropbox storage to Microsoft SharePoint can be costly and negatively affect ROI. Therefore, it is best to opt for a white glove migration service, especially if your IT team is inexperienced in large-scale and complex cloud storage migrations.

4. Train Users for a Rapid SharePoint Adoption
