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.
