If you are considering do it yourself migration to Office 365, this gives you enough detail to make yourself dangerous. There's probably enough detailed information to handle the basics, but the authors, consultants, recommend using consultants to handle the process given all the options inherent in the application. I read it to understand the compliance and eDiscovery aspects of Office 365 and while I feel I am not now an expert, I do feel quite dangerous and willing to try some of these things out, or at least to explain the options to others. Nicely written book at a good basic level.

Una ayuda....

Es un libro que introduce en forma concreta a Office 365 y sus intrincadas formas de funcionamiento. Los capítulos de licenciamiento y de sharepoint por ejemplo, son algo que no me había explicado ningún consultor.

Not a bad book and it covers a lot of good information. It is still very focused on the Exchange part of Office 365 which is of course the most prominent.

The issue with technical books like these, especially for a cloud based product like Office 365 is that they become dated very quickly, so you need to take that under advisement if you are looking to this as a source of current information.

However, for someone getting into Office 365 and focused mainly on dealing with emails this is a worthwhile addition to your collection
