Lucidity has been successfully migrating customers to Microsoft 365, SharePoint, and OneDrive for several years. During this time, we have developed robust processes to assist our clients in transitioning from outdated on-premise file servers and shared drives to modern, cloud-centric file systems that provide secure access from anywhere.
One common challenge we encounter during file migrations is that customers often don’t know where to begin. Accumulated over years, these shared drives contain countless files and folders, and it’s unclear which ones are essential to migrate to OneDrive and which ones can be archived. Frequently, there are thousands of dormant files and folders that haven’t been accessed in a decade, but no one wants to delete them in case they are still needed.
To address this issue, Lucidity has devised a solution that eliminates guesswork. We have developed our own file system scanning tool, which can be installed on a customer’s existing file system. This tool catalogs the extensive array of files and folders and generates comprehensive Power BI reports.
These reports enable us to analyze the data and make informed decisions regarding its long-term management. By examining when files were last accessed throughout your legacy file system, we can determine what should be migrated to SharePoint and what is better suited for low-cost archive storage. This ensures that you only pay for necessary data storage in the cloud and avoid unnecessary expenses.
If you are interested in moving away from your outdated server and concerned about potential complications, our team is here to help. We can conduct a thorough scan of your file system and assist you in making informed decisions based on your unique data.
Our goal is to facilitate a cost-effective transition to a modern, secure file system that your team can access from anywhere.
