Moving from Kerio Connect to Office 365 is a strategic step for organizations looking to modernize their email and collaboration environment. While Kerio is known for its simplicity and on-premises control, Office 365 (Microsoft 365) delivers a cloud-based ecosystem that combines enterprise email with advanced productivity and security tools.
A Kerio to Office 365 migration involves transferring emails, contacts, calendars, and folders from Kerio mail servers to Exchange Online. This transition gives users access to Outlook, Microsoft Teams, OneDrive, and SharePoint, enabling better collaboration and seamless access across devices. Businesses also benefit from larger mailboxes, improved reliability, and automatic updates without the need to maintain on-premises infrastructure.
Proper planning is essential to ensure a smooth migration. This includes user mapping, mailbox data transfer, DNS configuration, and validation to maintain uninterrupted email flow. A phased migration approach helps reduce downtime and allows users to continue working while data is moved securely in the background.
Office 365 also strengthens security with built-in protection against spam, phishing, and malware, along with features such as multi-factor authentication and compliance controls. These capabilities help organizations better protect sensitive business data.
