WORKLOAD COVERAGE MATTERS
Does Your Migration Tool Cover Every Microsoft 365 Workload?
Most migration projects start with the core Microsoft 365 workloads:

Exchange

SharePoint

OneDrive

Teams
But these are only the visible part of your tenant.
The difficult gaps often appear when the project team discovers that employees also depend on:
Business Applications

Power Automate Flows

Power BI Reports & Datasets

Microsoft Forms & Responses

Planner Projects

Microsoft Bookings
Collaboration

Teams Chat History

Viva Engage Communities
When These Workloads Aren’t Supported

Manual Exports
Export data manually

Manual Rebuilding
Recreate apps and configurations

Multiple Tools
Manage multiple migration tools

Data Left Behind
Business data remains in the source tenant
