BrightWork 365 Deployment and Migration Services
BrightWork 365 Jumpstart
Customers will need a BrightWork 365 Jumpstart to move from BrightWork on SharePoint to the new solution.
The JumpStart will run from three to five days, depending on:
- How much configuration is required from the base BrightWork 365 solution.
- How much of this configuration the customer would like BrightWork to carry out.
- The customer’s experience and familiarity with the Microsoft 365 Power Platform (Power Apps, Power BI, Teams, and so on).
Existing customers with unused deployment hours can use these hours for the BrightWork configuration.
BrightWork 365 Configuration and Data Migration
BrightWork on SharePoint and BrightWork 365 (on the Microsoft Power Platform) are built on two very different platforms, even though they are both from Microsoft.
As such, there will be no automatic migration of data or configurations from one system to the other.
Our Customer SuccessTeam can review data migration on a case-by-case basis.
