1. Define your business needs and priorities

• Before you opt for Microsoft Office 365 migration
  services, its wise to conduct a deep audit to
  understand the needs. You should ask yourself
  what you want to save to the cloud environment.
  Whether you need the cloud just for email or you
  want to save your documents and files as well.
  Regarding your requirements, it is recommended to
  opt for an Office 365 plan that comes with a file
  storage option (OneDrive and SharePoint). The
  reason being is that each user will get 1TB of
  cloud space to save their documents or create an
  online backup. Besides this, opting for a bundle
  of services is affordable as compared to
  subscribing to an individual service. For
  instance, email only will cost you 4 user/month,
  however, the business essential package will cost
  you only 5 user/month.

  plan you should opt for, you can seek help from

  and match plans tailored to your business
  requirements and if you later find that you need
