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.
