Thank you.
Before moving your organization to Microsoft 365, there are requirements you need to meet, info you need to have on hand, and decisions you have to make.
Overview of Microsoft 365 for business setup
Congratulations on your decision to move your business to the cloud with Microsoft 365! Whether you have one person in your business or 20, doing a little planning will help you get the most out of Microsoft 365 for business.
Info to have on hand before you run the setup wizard
When you're ready to run the setup wizard and move your domain to Microsoft 365, here's the info you'll need to have on hand:
List of people you want to add to Microsoft 365. Even if you've already added them to Microsoft 365, if you're updating your domain information, you need to enter their names here.
and
What happens when you run the Microsoft 365 setup wizard
The setup wizard walks you through installing the Microsoft 365 apps on your computer, adding and verifying your domain, adding users and assigning licenses to them, and connecting your domain.
Note
Move to Microsoft 365 all at once or in stages
Do you want to move your organization to Microsoft 365 all at once? If so, then plan to move your domain to Microsoft 365 right away. Start by running the Microsoft 365 setup wizard; it will prompt you to set up your domain.
Do you want to move to Microsoft 365 gradually? If you want to move to Microsoft 365 in stages, then skip running the Microsoft 365 setup wizard and consider adopting Microsoft 365 features in the following order:
Set up Microsoft Teams to use for your meetings.
Check that your devices meet system requirements
Each person in your organization can install the Office 2016 suite of apps (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and so on) on up to five PCs and Macs. See the operating system and computer requirements for installing Office 2022 suites for business.
Mobile apps can be installed on iOS, Android, and Windows devices. You can find information on mobile device and browser support in System requirements for Office.
Migrate your users' data on the Setup page, where we guide you through the updates you need to make at your domain host, step by step.
After you update your domain host, the changes typically take effect in just an hour or two. But be aware that it can sometimes take up to 72 hours for the changes to update across the internet.

How many mailboxes?

If you don't want to use the Setup

Plan for file storage and migration
Microsoft 365 provides cloud storage for individuals, small organizations, and enterprises. For guidance about what to store where, see Where you can store documents in Microsoft 365.
Plan for Teams
You can use Microsoft Teams to make calls to other people in your organization who are on your subscription. For example, if your organization has 10 people, you can call and IM each other using Teams without any special setup. For more information, see Get started with Microsoft Teams.
For larger organizations or if you're starting from Skype for Business, on-premises, or hybrid deployments, see How to roll out Microsoft Teams.
Plan for integration with Active Directory or other software
Do you want to integrate with your on-premises Active Directory? You can integrate your on-premises Active Directory with Microsoft 365 by using Azure Active Directory Connect. For instructions, see Set up directory synchronization for Microsoft 365.
Do you want to integrate Microsoft 365 with software made by other companies? If you need to integrate Microsoft 365 with other software in your organization, we recommend you consider hiring a partner to help you with your deployment.
Do you want someone to help you set up Microsoft 365?
If you have fewer than 50 employees:
• Ask for help and we'll call you. After you buy Microsoft 365, you can access the admin center (you don't need to run setup to get to it). At the bottom of the admin center, select Need help? Describe your problem, and we'll call you.

Wondering how to welcome a new employee to the team? Start by putting yourself in their shoes.
Taking a new role in an unfamiliar work environment is a lot like being the new kid at school — they tell you where your locker is and which classes you’re taking, but what you really want to know is how you’re supposed to act and what the social norms are. Do the cool kids raise their hands in class, or should you wait to answer the teacher’s questions? How will you make
It sounds silly at first, comparing your new hires to seventh graders, but think about it: Don’t you feel better when you know what’s expected of you? That’s what makes good onboarding, and good onboarding matters. In fact, 69% of employees are more inclined to stay with a company for at least three years if they had a great onboarding experience.
The right welcome messages and what they say
When you're sending a welcome letter to a new employee on their first day, every word you say matters. What do you want them to know? What do you want them to believe about their talents and potential? Think about the key ideas you want them to take away from your message:
Inspire them to be a change-maker
It’s easy for new employees to feel like they have to keep their heads down and do things the way they’ve always been done. Tell your new hires that you welcome their fresh perspectives and that you hope they’ll inspire some positive changes.
Empower them to experiment
Being the "new kid" is always a little bit scary. People spend the entire interview process putting their best foot forward, and sometimes that means they walk in thinking they have to be perfect. You don’t want your new colleague starting off with that mindset. If they’re afraid, they won’t take chances. If they feel comfortable with making mistakes, they’ll experiment and maybe come up with your next great ideas.
Demonstrate your growth mindset
If you’re the kind of company that believes in developing the talents of all your employees, congratulations — you have a growth mindset, and your workforce is more likely to be engaged. Start your new hires off right with a welcome note that tells them on their first day that you're there to help them reach their potential.
Let them know you're here for them
Who wouldn’t want to hear "We’ve got your back" on their first day at work? Instead of being the lone newbie, your new employee will immediately feel like a valued member of the team. They’ll be ready to ask for help and use their talents to support others’ success.
Tell them you value their perspective
