As we Launched our new Microsoft Teams Migrator as a part of our Saketa Migration tool, it is quite expected that our users will be keen to delve deeper into the Teams migration process. So, we bring in a list of Microsoft Teams Migration Best Practices for you to enhance your Teams migration experience.

Microsoft Teams Migration Best Practices
Even though our Teams Migration tool will ensure that there are no glitches in the process, however, there’s no harm in being extra cautious. If you are going for a heavy migration involving lots of users or huge data, taking a step or two on your part will make your migration experience even better. Let’s talk about the Teams Migration Best Practices so that we can ensure that the migration can take place successfully with no risks and best outcomes.

Preplanning
Preplanning always works in our favor, be it in any field and similarly, it does for Teams migration too. As soon as you are determined to migrate to Teams, make sure your source and destination are ready to undergo the process.

Ensure that the users are set up and licensed on Microsoft Teams before you initiate the migration process.

Pre-assess all the critical situations that might occur during the process is still going on and have backup plans to substitute the usage of the Teams platform during that duration unless its necessary to use it.

Create admin accounts to monitor the migration process
The tool is self-sufficient to carry on the whole migration process but keeping a check on it manually always helps. Create new admin accounts beforehand on both the source and destination platforms so that the migration process can be easily tracked. Assessment is important and should not be skipped.

Check for pre-existing duplicate names
The source and destination might have few common named users or groups. These may or may not be intentionally same and might have different permissions sets or purposes. If you find same named group names in the destination that you might not like to be merged to the new one, making little changes in their names can be a quick and easy fix.

Using our Saketa Teams migrator, you will have the ability to give the teams a new name before migrating them to the destination using the tool itself.

Make a list of Users to be mapped
The source might bring along some orphan users who are present in the source but not in the destination. In such a case, Microsoft teams best practices include a bit of offline work on your part too to tackle any rare case of a technical glitch. It is recommended to maintain a personal checklist too to serve in an event of an emergency.

With the help of User and Group mappings in the tool, you can map Unresolved users with a valid destination user.

Devote enough time for Migration
Teams Migration might be tricky and time taking. As it is continuously used by so many users, its database keeps changing at a very high frequency. Thus, syncing it might take some time. It is quite important to make sure that all the collaboration activities are halted, and the migrator gets enough free time to carry on the migration process successfully.

Restrict Teams usage during migration to prevent data alteration
During Teams migration, each aspect such as users, group names, channel permissions etc. need to be taken care of. Migration of custom settings and permissions require a non-altered environment to set everything right.

Preventing the users from using or updating the Teams while the migration process is going on will prevent any unwanted alterations to the Teams and channels after the migration process is accomplished.

Go for a Migration Patch Test
It’s always a good idea to have a pre-estimation of the process that you are about to undergo. It is always recommended to go for a patch test using a smaller Team so that estimating important factors such as the time required and other minor technical glitches can be estimated beforehand and we are well prepared for them when we face the elevated version of the same during the real-time migration.

Monitor your migration
Even though our Saketa Teams migrator takes care of all your migration worries, the advantages of a real-time monitoring can never be over-ruled. If you decide to keep a check on the migration process, it will ensure added perfection.

Prefer one-time migration
Due to such a large number of users, the content stored in the Teams database repository keeps on changing at jet speed. Therefore, partial migration is highly discouraged as it is sure to cause data loss due to the changing time frame of migration for each of those migration sections. Instead, find a suitable time, maybe a long weekend, and schedule the entire migration at a single go.

Do a post-migration check
After the migration is successfully done, give it a little time to sync and then, go for a post-migration check. If you find any irregularities, it can be sorted out before your users get access to Teams again.

We are always there to Help
Teams migration is quite a complex process, but following the Teams Migration Best Practices can be of great help. And it is our pleasure to make it smooth and easy for you. We understand that as it is an entirely new feature and you might come across many queries now and then.

Therefore, our Support Teams is always there for your aid. If you have any query, feel free to reach us at [email protected] and we will get back to you soonest

A well-planned video marketing strategy can significantly enhance marketing outcomes and drive a higher Return on Investment (ROI). As consumer trends and content consumption patterns continue to evolve, businesses with a robust video marketingapproach can achieve outstanding success and differentiate their brands in a competitive market.

Customers are more likely to make a purchase after viewing a product video. Videos convey more information than text messages or emails and can be easily consumed on the go, providing added convenience for the target audience.

Despite the benefits, marketing teams often make several mistakes in optimizing their video marketing strategies. Here are some critical areas to focus on:

Strategic Budgeting
To transform from a cost center to a performance-driven function, marketing teams need to implement better budgeting practices. Allocating the appropriate budget and establishing a process to measure the ROI of video marketing initiatives over time is essential. This enables brands to produce, repurpose, and manage consistent, high-quality video marketing campaigns.

Marketing teams should determine the annual budget for video production and marketing in line with other marketing expenses and goals, such as investments in new marketing technologies. Poor-quality videos that do not render well across various devices or slow down website loading can undermine overall objectives. Effective budgeting helps identify the necessary tools and resources to create a comprehensive plan that aligns with other marketing goals.

Leveraging Technology and Process Improvements

In today’s digital-first, multi-channel business environment, continual upgrades and modernization of marketing processes and technology are vital. Outdated technology and inefficient use of modern video tools can cause production delays, reduce output quality, and impair media files.

Optimizing the video marketing process involves staying informed about the latest tools that can accelerate video production. Providing marketing teams with the necessary training and knowledge ensures they can produce industry-standard videos promptly and stay updated with the latest social video trends.

In the past, marketers often outsourced much of their video creation and editing. Today, advanced tools make it easier to produce high-quality videos in-house, effectively highlighting products, services, or new features.

Enhancing Personalization
Personalization is a top priority for global B2B marketers and consistently leads to better results. A video marketing strategy that does not allow for quick modifications or customization can negatively impact future engagement. Marketers should explore innovative ways to repurpose video content for greater impact and identify tools that help scale personalization efforts.

Developing a robust video marketing strategy requires considering several factors, from identifying the type of video content needed to ensuring optimal use across multiple channels. Marketers must understand how to best integrate the video process into their overall brand strategy for maximum effectiveness.
