Cloud Onboarding & Offboarding
Many organizations are still undergoing enterprise cloud transformation – onboarding user mailboxes in combination with other workloads to take advantage of the Microsoft Office 365 ecosystem and all its offerings.
Additionally, companies are reducing or eliminating on-premise infrastructure where possible, even existing data centers to make their businesses more agile and react to changing climates.
Alternatively, in some cases companies that have been acquired do migrate away from the cloud to match the preferences of their new parent company.
Compliance Migrations
Being able to adhere to regulatory guidelines and respond to eDiscovery requests is simply a fact of life for most organizations.
For organizations with large, on-premise journal archives, the cost of storing, indexing, and maintaining this data year over year becomes a true burden – in some cases even when already leveraging a cloud archive.
When it is time for enterprise transformation - either to migrate to a new platform, cloud provider, or eDiscovery vendor, the time and cost to complete a project is typically prohibitive and negates any potential ROI.
Being able to store this data in a cost-effective manner, deliver the high-value data to the appropriate target, and expire the balance will ensure a more consistent and cost-effective process for your business.

Data Expiration
Organizations are storing vast amounts of data – and due to the sheer volumes involved or challenges implementing a proper corporate retention policy, often end up treating a majority of this data the same from a value standpoint.
To expire data efficiently and with the minimal amount of cost and disruption requires careful planning and consolidation of your data into a repository that is safe, auditable, and provides the necessary retention capabilities.
It also needs to meet the needs of your legal team in order to query, cull and produce data for eDiscovery events.
Restructuring, Mergers & Acquisitions
While the frequency of corporate restructuring events like a merger or acquisition differs from company to company, the level of impact they have is often the same – a monumental task from a business and technology perspective with many steps and procedures necessary for optimal consolidation.
While you may just be thinking about a tenant to tenant migration or a potential re-branding exercise, typically these events trigger a new vetting of the enterprise lifecycle to be sure pockets of on-premise or legacy data fall in line with overall policies.
