It's time consuming and costly to gather the

information required to complete an SOW and

develop the migration plan. SkyKick's Web

Planner is a fast, easy-to-use sales assessment,

planning, and configuration application that

streamlines the process for you and your

customers. The Web Planner discovers the

customer's email mailboxes, simplifies licensing,

and creates a personalized project plan to ready

the customer for a seamless move to Office 365.

After the plan has been submitted, Migration

Sync orchestrates the entire migration project,

keeping all the pieces of the migration in sync.

First, the application pre-syncs all your customer’s

data to virtually eliminate data migration risk. Then

DNS Sync goes to work to make the required

email DNS changes to ensure a zero-downtime

switch. Finally, Account Sync copies all your

customer’s account and user data to ensure a

safe and efficient transition.

And last, but not least, the SkyKick Outlook

AssistantBeta addresses many of the last-mile

challenges that make or break the overall

migration experience. SKOA is a lightweight client

app that works with Migration Sync to finalize the

migration. It automatically sets up Outlook and

retains extras like Address Autocomplete and

Email Signatures. It also performs local PST

migrations and checks the network to ensure

timely transfer of all the company's email data.

"We partnered with SkyKick in hopes of scaling our Office 365 practice at a faster rate... goal achieved. SkyKick allowed

us to simplify our migration model; completing more migrations, with less risk of error, and at less cost to the customer."

– Thomas Allen, CyberStreams, O365 Sales Division Manager

What We Migrate

Skykick can move data from virtually any

on-premise or hosted POP3/IMAP/Exchange

email system. Combined with depth of content,

data, and settings moved, SkyKick offers one of

the most comprehensive migration solutions on

the market.

Our Server Sync and SkyKick Outlook Assistant

products work together to move customer data

and settings seamlessly. Please refer to the chart

to see how we move different data types.

We don’t utilize DirSync integration when

performing the migration. If you require DirSync

configured permanently for business reasons, we

recommend you set it up prior to finalizing your

SkyKick migration order.

SkyKick supports migrations from Lotus Notes,

GroupWise, or Zimbra on a case-by-case basis.

Please call SkyKick to learn more.
