How Enterprises Can Switch Egnyte to OneDrive for High ROI

It goes without saying that achieving a high ROI is one of the top priorities for all large-sized enterprises planning to switch from Egnyte to OneDrive. To do this, having a ROI-focused strategy in place becomes mission-critical.

Here are some high-level insights to shape your enterprise’s Egnyte storage migration strategy to deliver a good ROI:

1) Perform a Proper Cost-Benefit Analysis

One of the first steps to take is to perform a proper cost-benefit analysis of switching from Egnyte to OneDrive. With the analysis, your team can compare the cost of migrating Egnyte users and data with the potential benefits, such as:

• Cost-savings
• Simplification of licensing structure
• Enterprise-level security reinforcements
• Improvements in data governance

Factor in your enterprise’s specific use case to make the cost-benefit analysis more accurate and plan the migration accordingly.

2) Prepare an Optimal Scope of Work

The likelihood of achieving a good ROI becomes high when the scope of migration is optimal; it should include all the necessary users, data, and rich metadata to migrate while excluding non-active users and data that is no longer needed.

This way, your enterprise migrates only what’s needed and can avoid overspending by adding unnecessary action items to the scope of work. With our migration experts (at CloudFuze) you can get professional help in creating a well-formed scope of work and realizing the potential ROI from migration.

3) Use a Migration Tool Without Annual Licensing Obligations

Another strategic way to keep the migration cost under check and pave way for a high ROI is to use a migration tool that does not have annual license commitments.

By avoiding annual license obligations, your enterprise can spend only on what’s needed for the migration, such as specific server requirements, types of services and support needed from the migration vendor, etc.

At CloudFuze, we do not impose annual obligations for using our migration tool. Depending on your specific requirements, we will provide you with a tailored quote which your teams can review and approve for furnishing pricing and service agreements.

4) Migrate in Batches to Be in Control of The Migration

When aiming for a high ROI, it’s equally important to be in full control of the migration and prevent it from going haywire. And one of the best ways to do this is to segregate the total number of users into equal batches and migrate them one at a time.

Implementing this approach helps keep the overall migration process lightweight and enables your team to manage it properly, including:

• Migrating each user batch and monitoring the progress
• Validation each migrated batch
