Before you even consider moving your email network over to an outside company, be sure that you have everything within your office in order. Here are some tips to make the move smooth and easy and to ensure nothing goes terribly wrong after the fact:
Brief Your Employees
It is never a good idea to surprise your employees with anything. That’s why it is so vital to communicate to your employees exactly what you’re planning to do. Break down why you think it is beneficial to transfer all email functions over to an external server and hosting service. Be sure to include information from any research you may have done. Show your employees how this move will improve the function of your business and save money. While you don’t have to do any of these things and you certainly don’t have to convince your employees of the benefits of the move, it is always a good idea to get full buy-in and support from your company. This will create a sense of community, should there be any difficulty in the transfer or any other bumps in the road.
