National Aeronautics and Space Administration - Office 365 Migration Readiness Assessment

Project Overview

Client: NASA

Location:Huntsville, AL

The Challenge

NASA sought to migrate its messaging infrastructure to Microsoft Exchange Online via the Microsoft Office 365 Suite. To ensure a seamless transition, the Agency required a comprehensive Technical and People Readiness Assessment to evaluate the challenges, opportunities, and risks associated with the migration. The goal was to address both technological infrastructure needs and workforce adaptability to the new system.

The Solution

Excelous conducted a thorough Technical and People Readiness Assessment for NASA’s Office 365 migration. This included evaluating technology integration requirements, Office 365 project plans, communications strategies, change management processes, and project team structure. Our analysis extended to assessing workforce readiness, identifying training gaps, and ensuring stakeholders were prepared for the transition to cloud services. The findings were compiled into actionable recommendations to support NASA’s Office 365 Cloud Services implementation.

The Results

  • Delivered a dual-layer readiness assessment addressing both technical and workforce preparedness.
  • Identified gaps in technology integration and change management processes, providing targeted solutions to ensure a smooth migration.
  • Developed tailored recommendations to enhance communications strategies and training plans, fostering user adoption and minimizing disruptions.
  • Enabled NASA to execute a structured, risk-mitigated implementation of Office 365, ensuring long-term success for the agency.
