Exchange Email Migration: California Pizza Kitchen 

Communication within our organization and between the rest of the world is the key to success for any business. Surpassing telephone, letters, and any other media, email has become the standard for official matters of any institutions or organizations. That is the reason that we should prioritize its well function in our workplaces. 

Many organizations that started using modern technologies in the early 2000s, choose to use an on-premises email management. This type of email hosting relies on a high investment on their installation at location, IT departments, and constant support. However, in 2020, 83% of organizations began operating their exchange needs in the cloud, according to the Web Tribunal. 

California Pizza Kitchen Email Issue 

California Pizza Kitchen needed an email solution that would provide efficiency, constant expert support, and most important: to be cost-effective. Team Venti offered the perfect fix for them: an email migration from on-premises to an Exchange service in the Cloud through Microsoft 365.

Exchange Solution Process

Before starting any migration, CPK (California Pizza Kitchen) stated which type of Exchange management they required. It is essential to state this decision wisely, since there are two options organizations can apply: a complete cloud migration or a hybrid migration. In this case, CPK selected to remain in a hybrid environment, enjoying the benefits that the cloud provides, but remaining with some in-house features.
