Let’s explore how AVAMIGRATRON simplifies the migration process with its powerful modules and features.

AVAMIGRATRON Migration Modules

AVAMIGRATRON provides a comprehensive suite of modules designed to ensure a seamless transition from Slack to Microsoft Teams. Each module plays a crucial role in facilitating different aspects of the migration process, ensuring a hassle-free experience. Here’s a breakdown of what each module is used for:

Inventory

The Inventory module in AVAMIGRATRON is crucial for gathering comprehensive data from your Slack workspace to facilitate migration to Microsoft Teams. The Inventory module ensures thorough verification of Slack users to retrieve data accurately, especially for private channels and direct/multi-party chats. This verification process involves customizing the Slack user list and sending verification links where necessary.

User Verification: Ensures access to private conversations by verifying Slack users. This step is essential for retrieving data from Slack that includes private channels and direct/multi-party chats.

High-Level Inventory: Provides an overview of the Slack workspace data, allowing you to fetch lists of channels and chats separately. You can use advanced filters to refine your inventory view.

Detailed Inventory: Offers a comprehensive inventory of the entire Slack workspace, including users, third-party apps, user groups, channels, multiparty messages, and direct messages. This detailed view covers user roles, member details for channels/chats, message counts, file sizes, channel types, creation details, and archived status.

The Detailed Inventory option also supports custom inventory templates, allowing users to download and customize templates for Slack channels/chats as needed for migration planning and execution.

User Mapping

User Mapping in AVAMIGRATRON ensures precise alignment of Slack users with their corresponding counterparts in Microsoft Teams. This customization allows organizations to tailor mappings according to their specific needs.

For example, multiple Slack users can be consolidated into a single user account in Microsoft Teams, simplifying user management and access controls. This streamlined process ensures that all user identities and permissions are accurately transferred, facilitating a seamless transition from Slack to Microsoft Team.

Channel Mapping

Channel Mapping in AVAMIGRATRON offers two distinct approaches for migrating channels from Slack to Microsoft Teams: Migration API and Normal API. Each method caters to different migration needs:

Actual User Migration ensures that Slack messages retain the original user’s name and details when migrated to Microsoft Teams. This process involves creating a hidden team or channel in Microsoft Teams during migration, which becomes visible once the migration is completed, and the mode is switched to normal. You can finalize the migration by adding members to the team or channel using the “Team Channel Completion” feature. However, note the limitations: this method can only migrate to new teams or channels, not existing ones.

Service Account Migration allows messages to be posted in Microsoft Teams using a designated service account. While this method does not retain individual usernames, dates, and times in messages, it offers flexibility by allowing migration into existing teams or channels, including private or shared channels.

Both methods support direct migration and custom migration options, including delta migration for incremental updates, ensuring flexibility and efficiency in your migration strategy from Slack to Microsoft Teams.

Member Migration

AVAMIGRATRON facilitates seamless member migration from Slack to Microsoft Teams with two key methods:

  • Same Email Address Migration: Automatically migrates members whose email addresses match between Slack and Teams, ensuring continuity in user identities across platforms
  • User Mapping Migration: Enables migration based on customized user mappings, ensuring precise control over which users are transferred to Microsoft Teams.

Conversation Migration

The Conversation Migration module in AVAMIGRATRON allows seamless migration of Slack Direct Messages (DM) and Multiparty Messages (MM) to Microsoft Teams’ one-to-one or one-to-many chats.

Before initiating the migration process, it’s crucial to complete the “user mapping” step. User mapping ensures accurate mapping of Slack users to corresponding users in Microsoft Teams, enabling smooth transition and proper communication alignment for DMs and MMs. This preparation is essential to establish mappings with other users in the target environment effectively

Report Module

The Report module in AVAMIGRATRON provides comprehensive insights into previously conducted migrations. Users can access detailed reports on channels, direct chats, and multiparty chats.

These reports include crucial information such as type, migration date & time, warnings, success status, and total counts. Users have the flexibility to export both overall reports covering channels and chats (including Direct Messages and Multiparty Messages), as well as individual reports for specific channels or chats.

This functionality ensures transparency and accountability throughout the migration process, enabling users to track migration progress and ensure successful data transfer.
