Industry
GETTR is a social media platform founded by Jason Miller, a former employee of Donald Trump. Compared to other social media platforms, Gettr prioritizes freedom of opinion and expression. Launched in July 2021, it achieved remarkable growth by reaching 1 million users (about the population of Delaware) in just three days. GETTR offers a versatile social utility, featuring best-in-class technology that supports various communication methods, from traditional micro-blogging to livestreaming and short-video content. It’s accessible on both mobile and web platforms, connecting users worldwide.
GETTR, as a recent addition to a larger communication company, required a transition to a new tenant because of the establishment of this new subsidiary. From this, they faced these challenges:
- Data Migration: The need to migrate email data from the existing system to a new platform was pressing, and the process had to be executed swiftly without disrupting daily operations.
- Inbox Alignment: GETTR aimed to standardize email inboxes across the organization to enhance communication and collaboration efficiency.
- Data Security: Ensuring data integrity and security during the migration was of paramount importance to safeguard sensitive information.
Given the challenges that they face, GETTR sought help from their existing Managed IT partner, ECF Data. The assessment includes evaluating the environment for migration requirements, team mapping, and licensing needs based on Microsoft usage and team requirements.
By compiling discovery details, ECF Data offered upgraded licenses, ultimately in the delivery of 38 Microsoft 365 E5, 600 Office 365 F3 licenses, and the migration of email boxes and data to a new tenant.
