ROT and Intelligent Migration

Migration of enterprise content from network drives and other locations to M365 is an important move to enable the remote workforce and reduce internal IT costs. It is also an opportunity to clean up trivial, obsolete and redundant (ROT) content the organization has accumulated over the years.

Starting up with a clean slate in the new environment helps improve user efficiency, reduces confusion about where the single version of the truth is, improves findability and reduces cost.

Utilizing industry proven tools and best practices, this ROT can be eliminated before content is migrated. Content volume can be reduced by 30%-50% by eliminating ROT.

"If you're ready for a new beginning, for a fresh start, start by decluttering and tidying up" - Marie Kondo
