Moving the Business and the Bits

365 migration we have done since. The value is incredible.” – Jamison West, Arterian, Founder / CEO

It's time consuming and costly to gather the
information required to complete an SOW and
develop the migration plan. SkyKick's Web
Planner is a fast, easy-to-use sales assessment,
planning, and configuration application that
streamlines the process for you and your
customers. The Web Planner discovers the
customer's email mailboxes, simplifies licensing,
and creates a personalized project plan to ready
the customer for a seamless move to Office 365.

After the plan has been submitted, Migration
Sync orchestrates the entire migration project,
keeping all the pieces of the migration in sync.
First, the application pre-syncs all your customer’s
data to virtually eliminate data migration risk. Then
DNS Sync goes to work to make the required
email DNS changes to ensure a zero-downtime
switch. Finally, Account Sync copies all your
customer’s account and user data to ensure a
safe and efficient transition.
And last, but not least, the SkyKick Outlook
AssistantBeta addresses many of the last-mile
challenges that make or break the overall
migration experience. SKOA is a lightweight client
app that works with Migration Sync to finalize the
migration. It automatically sets up Outlook and
retains extras like Address Autocomplete and
Email Signatures. It also performs local PST
migrations and checks the network to ensure
timely transfer of all the company's email data.

"We partnered with SkyKick in hopes of scaling our Office 365 practice at a faster rate... goal achieved. SkyKick allowed
us to simplify our migration model; completing more migrations, with less risk of error, and at less cost to the customer."
– Thomas Allen, CyberStreams, O365 Sales Division Manager
What We Migrate
Skykick can move data from virtually any
on-premise or hosted POP3/IMAP/Exchange
email system. Combined with depth of content,
data, and settings moved, SkyKick offers one of
the most comprehensive migration solutions on
the market.
Our Server Sync and SkyKick Outlook Assistant
products work together to move customer data
and settings seamlessly. Please refer to the chart
to see how we move different data types.
We don’t utilize DirSync integration when
performing the migration. If you require DirSync
configured permanently for business reasons, we
recommend you set it up prior to finalizing your
SkyKick migration order.
SkyKick supports migrations from Lotus Notes,
GroupWise, or Zimbra on a case-by-case basis.
