There are several methods involved in migration, and we need to choose the most appropriate method that best suits your requirements. Let’s look at the different methods for migration before we begin the relocating process of Exchange to Office 365 step by step: Cutover Migration method: A cutover migration is an easy method designed for small businesses with less than 1000 users’ data/mailboxes.

With this method, you can integrate Office 365 with your Exchange Servers and also the existing Activ
