Data Migration Case Study for Forum for the Future

This case study outlines the data migration project undertaken by Forum for the Future, a not-for-profit organization, to transition from Dropbox to SharePoint Online. The organization, with personnel located globally, recognized the need for a streamlined data management system and enhanced technology infrastructure to improve collaboration and security among its staff. The migration, which was ambitious and technically challenging, required expert assistance from Advania. The project involved a thorough migration readiness assessment, the creation of a target information architecture, and close collaboration with Forum's internal IT management. The successful completion of the migration resulted in significant improvements in data management capabilities, including enhanced accessibility, better security, and streamlined collaboration. The project also allowed Forum to cancel its Dropbox contract, achieving immediate financial benefits. The completion date for this migration was set for April 2024.
