Case Study - Office 365 Project - Records Management, Governance & Migration
THE CHALLENGE
The Real Estate Council of Alberta (RECA) was seeking a qualified vendor to migrate existing electronic files (from file share exclusively) to Office 365 with SharePoint and Teams. This project represents Phase 2 of RECA’s Office 365 Program. This Phase will see the successful development and execution of a migration plan to move files from the on-premise system to RECA’s existing Office 365 tenant.
THE OUTCOME
ARC Business Solutions (ARC) used Delivery Management Methodology (DMM) for the project management framework. The DMM is a governance function that enables ARC’s to work effectively with RECA EIM from beginning to end. ARC is proud to state that not only was the project on-budget; but also RECA was extremely satisfied with results especially during an awkward time during the pandemic in spring and summer of 2020.
