Business challenges

• The client wanted to move the entire member’s history along with timestamps to migrate from Slack to Teams. 
• While migrating messages from Slack to Teams, they did not want to lose the user’s name in Teams too after migration.  
• On the whole, they wanted a like-a-like migration.  
• Since they had a huge database for the conversation history of their customers, they did not want to face any throttles during migration and wanted a quicker migration.  
• To maintain the inventory as such and to deter any issues in the business process, they also needed the Source message posted time for their references.  

How AVASOFT helped? 

• Since the client wanted to move the entire Slack messages to Teams with a quick and like a like migration, we used the new Import API approach for migration.  
• This approach reduced throttling and thus fulfilled our client’s needs.  
• We worked on this approach and retained the actual source message posted time along with the message posted user’s names.  
• We assured them of minimal throttles and faster migration.  

Business gains

• The client was able to get all the data in Microsoft Teams.  
• There were minimal throttling and it helped the client to maintain the business processes. 
• The client had the timestamps, message poster, usernames, emojis, files and everything they wanted from their Slack inventory moved to Teams successfully. 
• Our Slack to Teams migration experts worked relentlessly to make the migration process faster and delivered the project as promised.
