<p>SkyKick had barely launched its automated Microsoft Office 365 cloud migration suite in 2013 before inking a deal with Fortune 500 distributor Synnex, in which the two sides made the deal official Tuesday and announced they are ready to ramp up distribution of SkyKick's cloud migration automation platform, which helps solution providers move SMB customers from legacy systems to Office 365 in just hours instead of the delicate and lengthy procedure the process usually requires.</p><p>"Turning on Office 365 is a piece of cake," said Rob Moyer, Synnex's vice president of Microsoft Global Business unit and cloud services, adding that getting the contents of existing email systems is the hard part. "That takes work," he said.</p><p>Full migration, including setting up the new system, also takes a lot of time, upwards of 40 hours, Moyer said. "SkyKick probably brings that down to two hours," he said.</p><p>[Related: Startup SkyKick Brings Migration Automation To Office 365]</p><p><a href="http://www.crn.com/news/cloud/240157645/skykick-synnex-ink-deal-to-ease-office-365-migration-for-vars.htm">Keep reading...</a></p>
