Box Files Migration to OneDrive: Enterprise Case Study Analysis
Planning and performing file and folder migration from Box to OneDrive at a large enterprise scale is a route filled with complexities and technical challenges. Compared to small-scale migrations, transferring a high volume of enterprise data at a large scale is a different ball game that requires a strategic approach.
If you are representing a large-sized enterprise that is planning to migrate a high volume of Box files and folders to OneDrive, we are here to help.
We have crafted this post to be a case study analysis of one of our premium enterprise customers for Box to Microsoft 365 migration, London Gatwick Airport.
Case Study Overview and Challenges
In 2020, when the entire world was coming to a halt with the COVID-19 pandemic lockdowns, London Gatwick Airport decided to cut down operational costs. They planned to do this by moving away from Box and fully consolidating into their Microsoft 365 environment that they had already been using.
The urgency of the COVID-19 lockdown situation gave Gatwick Airport a very limited time to migrate their Box users and data. So much so that they had a tight timeline of less than two months.
Among several options for migration vendors, CloudFuze entered as the best and most suitable choice because of:
How Was the Large-Scale Migration Planned?
Adhering to GDPR was one of the core requirements of Gatwick Airport. To meet this, our team planned to migrate their data locally by configuring our migration tool in servers hosted in the UK.
Our team also made the process of onboarding Gatwick Airport’s teams into the migration process quick to save time. Offering flexibility in terms and conditions amendments also made it easier for Gatwick Airport to enter into the project quickly.
What Were the Strategies and Solutions Implemented?
Our team used dedicated high-performance servers to eliminate downtime that otherwise would delay the migration. Segregating the total number of users into several batches also helped in performing the migration seamlessly.
Hosting the migration servers locally in the UK meant Gatwick Airport was able to ensure complete GDPR compliance. We also provided Gatwick Airport with a fully managed migration service through which they received end-to-end support during and post-migration.
What Were the Migration Results and the Scale of Success?
With CloudFuze as the cloud migration partner, Gatwick Airport was able to migrate over 2,000 users along with the data and rich metadata, such as sharing permissions, timestamps, version history, and more.
As originally planned, Gatwick Airport was able to complete the migration in less than two months.
