Switching to Microsoft 365 … or not?
We often talk to SMBs who get stuck somewhere in the migration process to Microsoft 365. This is not at all surprising. Because such a transition often involves more challenges than you might think at first glance. Do you recognize this?
❌ Files are everywhere (OneDrive, Dropbox, USB…)
❌ Users don’t understand SharePoint
❌ Mailboxes are not properly migrated
❌ “We want to … but ISO, AVG and soon NIS2? No idea where to start.”
What keeps SMBs from switching?
In a recent poll¹, we asked organizations what is holding them back from (fully) moving to Microsoft 365. The results:
- 38% say, “It’s working well enough now.”
- 25% have fear that data will be lost.
- 25% are concerned with ISO/AVG and see the migration as an additional burden.
- 13% indicated they had no time or knowledge.
Recognizable? It shows that switching is not only a technical issue, but also a matter of trust, time and priorities.
So why does it remain?
🔹 It works now, doesn’t it? Why change something that doesn’t seem like an immediate problem?
🔹 Fear of data loss. Switching without being sure everything is safe? Stressful.
🔹 ISO, AVG, NIS2. Laws and regulations are complex enough. Then add migration…
🔹 Lack of time. In an SME, time is the most scarce commodity.
