This document outlines a plan to migrate a small business server (SBS) environment to Office 365 and Azure. The plan involves: 1) evaluating the current SBS environment; 2) enabling Office 365 and Azure subscriptions; 3) implementing Azure file and application backups; 4) migrating email, files, and company data to Office 365 and Azure services in stages; and 5) extending the environment using additional Azure and Office 365 capabilities once the migration is complete. Resources and best practices are provided to help successfully execute the plan.
