A multinational technology conglomerate faced significant challenges with post-migration incompatibilities for customers transitioning from competing cloud-based productivity software to their leading productivity suite. Despite offering a migration service, users encountered adoption issues due to feature gaps, risking enterprise license renewals. Valorem Reply’s compete engineering experts developed a workspace scanning and analysis tool and a self-service AI add-in application to address these issues, resulting in improved customer satisfaction and streamlined migration processes.
