Moved our client’s Slack workspace to Teams with no throttles!

Business challenges 

• Migrating Slack channels and chats from Slack workspace to Office 365 MS Teams  
• The client was using the Slack standard plan and wanted everything to be migrated to Teams.  
• The client wanted to remove unnecessary channels and chats. 
• They also wanted to ensure that there were no throttles during migration.  
• They wanted to move the attachments also to Teams without any disruptions.  

How AVASOFT helped? 

• We used our migration tool – AVAMIGRATRON, to take the inventory assessment of Slack workspace channels by connecting multiple service accounts.  
• Based on the inventory assessment, the client was able to remove the unnecessary channels and chats.  
• We then proceeded with the Slack channel mapping with the MS Teams channel mapping and mapped Slack direct chat with MS Teams 1:1 chat.  
• The initial and incremental migration was done based on the user mapping.  
• The migrated messages were then posted on behalf of the mapped source and target users.  
• Since there was no support to migrate the attachments as such, we framed HTML structure to move the message as an attachment in Teams.  

Business gains 

• Migrated multiple attachments that were present in a single message and displayed the attachment link along with the migrated messages on MS Teams channels and 1:1/ 1: many chats.  
• Overcame MS Teams throttle limitations and members sync-up delay between MS Teams and its unified group.  

Get the inventory assessment done for your Slack workspace and remove the redundant channels and chats. Migrate to Teams with no throttles.
