Case Study: IOZ completes full-fidelity Office 365 migration and cuts SharePoint storage by 75% with AvePoint DocAve

IOZ Completes Full Fidelity Migration to Microsoft® Office 365 and Reduces Microsoft SharePoint® Data Storage by 75% with DocAve®

IOZ AG, a Zurich‑based Microsoft Gold Partner that relies on SharePoint for 90% of its data across about 50 users, needed to move from on‑premises SharePoint 2010 to Office 365 – SharePoint Online to take advantage of cloud features. The main challenge was performing a full‑fidelity migration without losing version histories, metadata, or the ability to clean up legacy data—capabilities not provided by Microsoft’s out‑of‑the‑box tools.

IOZ deployed DocAve Migrator to perform item‑level, customizable migrations that preserved version history and metadata while enabling selective content cleanup. The move trimmed SharePoint storage by 75% (from ~120 GB to ~30 GB), completed the bulk of the migration in two months, and allowed users to quickly start using Office 365 features like Office Delve and simplified external sharing.
