Why Slack to Teams Migration Cost Can Go High if Mismanaged?

If your company is planning a Slack to Teams migration and is focused on keeping the cost in check, improper management of the transition is the last thing you’d want. Without structured migration management, including proper monitoring and validation, some or most parts of the migration can go off track, costing your company significant money in rectifications.

Here are some of the ways how improper management can cause your company’s Slack to Teams migration cost to go high beyond the estimated budget:

Lack of Proper Strategy When Preparing the Scope of Work

With migration solutions provider that provide tailored price quotes, including us, the Slack to Teams migration cost primarily is based on the scope of work. Therefore, your team, including the management and other decision makers, must plan the scope of work very strategically.

Understand the usage patterns in your company’s Slack environment to right size the migration scope. For example, certain public and private Slack channels may no longer be relevant or no longer needed. Your team can identify such channels and avoid migrating them which helps save money and time.

Overlooking the Importance of Analyzing the Pre-Migration Summary

Another mismanagement to avoid, which, otherwise can cause your company’s Slack to Teams migration cost to shoot up, is not checking the pre-migration summary properly. A detailed pre-migration summary, like the one our Slack to Teams migration tool generates, can serve as a reference point to cross-check the planned scope of work.

Without these cross-checks, your team will be unsure whether all the planned channels and messages are set to be migrated by the vendor.

Not Maintaining Regular Communication With the Migration Vendor

Without regular communication with the migration vendor, your team will not have full clarity over the migration progress. As a result, your team may not be aware of the issues, if any, such as transfer conflicts, API rate limiting, and more.

These issues can cause delays in the transfer process and extend the migration beyond the planned timeline, necessitating your company to dedicate more IT resource usage for the migration completion. Develop a proper migration communication plan and ensure that your team is in constant touch with the migration team.
