Public Folder Migration
It’s no secret: Migrating public folders (and public folder archives) to Microsoft 365 modern public folders can be difficult.
Added to this, there’s a wide choice of other destinations you might decide to migrate to, such as Groups, Teams, shared mailboxes, SharePoint and other destinations such as Azure or third-party cloud archives.
Essential provides an unbiased vendor approach to technology and solutions for your project, and is able to advise on and recommend products and/or services depending on your scenario and requirements.
Analyse your Current Public Folder Hierarchy
Visualise and drill into your Public Folders before migration to size up the effort and make informed decisions on what needs moving and where…and whether it needs moving at all.
Ensure a Seamless End-user Experience
By checking for mail-enabled folders, data ownership, and permissions in advance you can ensure that Public Folders behave correctly for on-premises and cloud-based users as they migrate.
Zero-downtime Migration Methodology
We can ensure your migration allows business activities to continue uninterrupted, with the option to synchronise content between on-prem and the cloud.

“We found migrating our archived email and public folders to Office 365 was complicated, both from an IT & admin perspective. Given our long & successful relationship with Essential it was a natural step for them to manage the entire migration process.”
Lars Henrik Folke Ossum, ICT Director L & S
