    Data Migration for Nonprofits

    Introduction to Data Migration

    As more and more organisations seek to embrace the cloud, one of the key challenges they face relates to the relocation of their existing, legacy data.

    Some of the key considerations include:

    How will my legacy data be able to work with my new cloud-based application, such as Dynamics 365?

    Will my data be secure and available once it is in the cloud?

    How much will cloud storage cost me?

    What We Offer

    At mhance, we offer comprehensive solutions to support the migration of data to the cloud. Such solutions will validate and transform your existing data, ensuring that it fits comfortably within your new Dynamics 365-based solutions:

    What We Offer

    • Access and Extract Existing Data 

      Our Data Migration specialists can utilise a range of strategies to access and extract your existing data, particularly in the Nonprofit sector, where we can leverage knowledge of a number of legacy fundraising solutions.

    • Vet Existing Data 

      Our expertise in all things Dynamics 365 allows us to ensure that all incoming data is appropriately vetted and transformed for your new cloud solution. We utilise a custom-built, rules-based Cloud Migration Suite to minimise build, whilst maintaining the required flexibility to fit the requirements of your data.

    • Select Efficient Toolset for Data Migration 

      Our understanding of Microsoft’s emerging toolsets allows us to select the right tools for the job – ensuring the most efficient upload possible (thereby minimising downtime during switchover). This includes leveraging Microsoft Azure SQL and staging databases to ensure data integrity and smooth transitions. Azure Data Factory plays a crucial role in automating data processes, integrating diverse data sources, and orchestrating data workflows.

    Benefits

    Once in the cloud, you benefit from the many inherent capabilities within both Dynamics 365 and the underlying Azure platform:

    – A choice of UK/European Data Centres (so you will know where your data is stored)

    – Options for both Local and Global Redundancy of data

    – SLA-backed platform availability of 99.95% and above

    A range of complementary products such as Purview and Defender for Cloud offering additional Governance, Compliance and Threat Protection across your data

    Pricing

    Cloud storage prices vary considerably, depending on such things as the levels of performance required. mhance will provide guidance in terms of the appropriate storage mechanisms for your data:

    – You may not need all of your data to be stored in Dynamics 365

    – A more suitable home could be found for older transactional data, lessening costs whilst still ensuring that you have the appropriate levels of access
