Is it right for your organization?
Evaluate the pros/cons of cloud versus on-premises. Cost comparison Licensing Other costs/savings: Cloud reduces management/support/infrastructure costs. Ask your MS account manager for access to their TCO tool. But you should also factor in your own transition costs and effort Due diligence Security Availability Performance Do a competitive comparison. Try before you buy.
19
Will you have issues with migration and transition?
Assessing your readiness to transition: Download Microsoft tools. Office 365 Deployment Readiness Tool Assessment and Planning Toolkit Test for products compatibility. Minimum requirements: IE 7, Windows XP SP3, Vista SP2, Windows 7 Can’t migrate Office 2003 or IE6: You will need to upgrade on-premises first, then transition to cloud.

How to negotiate Microsoft’s Office 365 paperwork

Recommendations
31
What can you do now? If you’re just starting out . . .
If you’re further along . . . Consider all, or some (hybrid), or none. Try it for a subset of users (try before you buy). Compare 365 versus competition. Features/functions Performance/availability/security Price Monitor outages and issues against your agreed SLAs. Have a fallback plan. Demand that any Office 365 price drops be immediately reflected in your costs.
