### Benefits Of Migrating To Microsoft Office 365

Office 365 is superior to Gmail or any other online solution in the same space for enterprise use. Here are the reasons why a company may prefer to choose an Office 365 mail migration instead of a **Gmail to Gmail migration.**

#### Enterprise-Grade Cloud-Based Office 365 Solutions

Office 365 runs entirely [in the cloud](https://www.comtech-networking.com/blog/item/568-is-microsoft-office-365-a-cloud-or-software-as-a-service/), and migrating to the platform will reduce challenges, costs, and risks for enterprise IT group.

#### Saves Time

_System administrators/ IT staff can save a lot of time_ as they won’t need to devote time and resources to manage local network drives or email servers.

#### Better Uptime and Customer Support

_Microsoft takes the responsibility to ensure the uptime of the Office 365 platform_ and provides better support to enterprise customers.

#### Flexibility

Businesses can use Office 365 to scale their cloud usage and subscription status along with their business growth. When new teams and employees come on board, _there is no need to purchase additional servers or power or networking equipment_. Instead, system admins/ IT staff need to adjust their Office 365 [subscription plan](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/office365/servicedescriptions/office-365-platform-service-description/office-365-plan-options) to all the end-users and services they require.

Modern systems, including Mac computers, Windows computers, and iPhone and Android mobile devices fully support Office 365.

### Office 365 Tenant To Tenant Migration Is Based On Number of Users: Tips For Each Category

1. **Migration For 500 Users Or Less:** Migrate contacts and Mail Calendar data to target tenant mailboxes. _Limit the mail migration by date to the last four months_, if possible.
2. **Migration For More Than 500 Users:** A Multi-pass approach can be used for migrating contacts, calendars, and only one week of email for all users. Fill in the mailboxes with older email data on succeeding days or weeks with multiple passes.

When Office 365 to Office 365 Migration is carried out using a third-party tool, _Tenant Preparation and Licensing are needed_. To accommodate all mailboxes, increase licenses in the Target Office 365 tenant. _Administrator accounts must then be created in source and target tenants for the migration_. After this, the user can then [move the domain from one Office 365 tenant to another](/content/office-365-tenant-to-tenant-migration/move-domain-from-one-office-365-tenant-to-another) by detaching from source tenant and attaching to destination tenant.
