Ensuring data integrity and validation post-migration from Zimbra to Office 365 is crucial for maintaining accurate and functional business operations. Here’s a streamlined approach to verifying your migrated data:


1. Review Data Completeness

Begin by thoroughly checking that all data—contacts, calendar events, emails—have been migrated. Compare the data in Office 365 with what was in Zimbra to ensure nothing is missing.


2. Verify Data Accuracy

Check for accuracy in contact details, calendar appointments, and email content. Ensure that fields like phone numbers, email addresses, and event timings are correctly displayed and functional in Office 365.


3. Test Functionality

Perform tests to ensure that all imported data works as expected. For contacts, verify that you can search for and access them. For calendar events, check that reminders and recurring events function correctly. Test email functionality to confirm that messages are accessible and displayed properly.


4. Address Discrepancies

Identify and resolve any discrepancies or errors found during your review. This may involve re-importing certain data or correcting issues manually.


5. Monitor for Issues

Keep an eye on the system for any ongoing issues that may arise post-migration. Regularly review data integrity to catch and address any problems early.
