How Boston Medical Center Moved 9000+ Users to Microsoft 365

Overview

Boston Medical Center migrated 9,000+ users and 30 TB of content from Box to Microsoft 365 with CloudFuze. Boston Medical Center moved to Microsoft 365, cutting off redundant licenses, unifying storage and collaboration in OneDrive and SharePoint Online, and strengthening governance.

Every prior attempt with other migration tools failed to carry Box’s external sharing relationships into Microsoft 365, and the project also had to run in parallel with a separate NAS migration. CloudFuze migrated the entire Box data, including external shared links and external share relationships, while preserving permissions at the root, subfolder, and file levels.

CloudFuze successfully migrated file versions, timestamps, inline comments, embedded links, and folder structure along with delta migration. The result was a complete migration with zero data loss and a Microsoft 365 environment structured and ready for long-term use.
