Migration Wiz: Avoid License Waste

Each MigrationWiz license covers a specific amount of data. When an overage exceeds a threshold threshold, an extra license will automatically be consumed; since the same job could run multiple times with different settings and licences added over time.

Understanding license usage helps reduce costs. Ask yourself these questions:

Are You Running Full Migrations When Delta Syncs Would Sufficiently Migrate My Data ?
Have I Filtered Unwanted Data Prior to Migrating My Data Am I Migrating to Similar Item(s) Could Consolidate Multiple Small Projects into One Large One ?
Have I reviewed which data is being migrated and which requires migrating?

With proper planning and answers, you can optimize license usage. Here’s one simple strategy to avoid license waste:

Before beginning the migration process, filter pre-migration for old email, trash folders and outdated file versions.

Second, use delta syncs strategically. Pre-stage migrations do not incur additional license charges.

Thirdly, you should carefully assess the scope and extent of your migration project. Don’t migrate entire mailboxes if all that’s necessary are recent emails; only transfer what’s relevant.

Watch your License Consumption Dashboard: With BitTitan, it is easy to monitor how many licenses your job is using.

Finally, devise an efficient migration wave strategy. Arrange users logically for maximum benefit.
