Few Tools and Techniques to Reduce Dynamics 365 Cloud Migration Effort (on-premise to online)

Data migration can be challenging for multiple reasons – it takes time and effort to migrate and data storage costs more in the cloud or you have to pay for exactly what you use. Storage costs for Dynamics 365 online are $5GB/month. Storage costs per GB of data have been reduced since the release of Dynamics 365, however, it’s still quota based - you purchase a certain amount of data and you are entitled to use up to that limit. Microsoft sends you warnings and notifications as you approach these thresholds. We have recently released the Work 365 Attachment Manager application to alleviate some of these data management issues in Dynamics 365. The Attachment Manager app moves documents and attachments from Dynamics 365 into the Azure cloud and provides a link back into those records. Using the Attachment Manager to move the bulky space-consuming attachments prior to any cloud migration project can significantly reduce your data foot print, making it easier for you to migrate to the cloud and use less storage while saving money on storage costs overall.
