Quick answer

AvePoint Fly is cloud-migration software — it moves your data, content and workspaces into, between and across cloud platforms like Microsoft 365, Google Workspace and Power Platform: from on-premises or another cloud INTO Microsoft 365, from one Microsoft 365 tenant to another (tenant-to-tenant), or across platforms (e.g. Google Workspace to Microsoft 365). Why this matters: organisations regularly need to migrate cloud data — during mergers and acquisitions (combining two companies' tenants), divestitures (splitting one tenant into two), cloud adoption (moving from on-premises SharePoint or file shares into Microsoft 365), platform switches (Google Workspace to Microsoft 365, or vice versa), or tenant consolidations/restructures. These migrations are complex and risky: you're moving large volumes of critical data (emails, documents, sites, Teams, permissions, metadata) between environments, and if done badly, data is lost, corrupted, mis-permissioned, or the migration drags on and disrupts users. Doing it manually or with basic tools is error-prone and painful. AvePoint Fly is purpose-built migration software that does this properly: it's an Azure-hosted (SaaS) migration platform that moves content with high fidelity — preserving structure, metadata, permissions and versions — handles large scale, supports tenant-to-tenant and cross-platform moves, and provides the planning, mapping, monitoring and reporting to run migrations reliably and with minimal disruption. It's part of AvePoint's Confidence Platform (Modernization suite), from AvePoint — a NASDAQ-listed (AVPT), 28,000+-customer data-management leader with deep Microsoft-migration heritage (AvePoint has run some of the largest M365 migrations). TechBag scopes, licenses and supports it in INR/GST for Indian organisations.

Under the hood

The five pieces of the platform

Vendors love diagrams; buyers need to know what they’re actually operating. Here’s the whole platform, demystified.

01
The planning

Assess & Plan

Understand the source

Fly assesses the source environment (what data, how much, structure, dependencies) and helps you plan the migration — mapping source to destination, scoping waves, and identifying issues upfront. Good migrations start with good planning; Fly enables it.

02
The mapping

Map & Transform

Source → destination

Map source content, users, permissions and structures to the destination — handling differences between platforms and tenants (e.g. user mapping, structure changes) — so data lands correctly and faithfully in the target, transformed as needed.

03
The engine

Migrate at Scale

High-fidelity, Azure-hosted

The Azure-hosted (SaaS) engine migrates content at scale and with high fidelity — preserving structure, metadata, permissions, versions and timestamps — across M365, Google Workspace, Power Platform and from on-premises. Fast, reliable, faithful migration.

04
The oversight

Monitor & Report

Visibility & control

Monitor migrations in real time, with dashboards, progress tracking, error handling and detailed reporting — so you know exactly what's moved, what's pending, and what needs attention. Control and confidence throughout the migration.

05
The context

Confidence Platform

Part of Modernization

Fly is part of AvePoint's Confidence Platform — specifically its Modernization suite — so migration connects to AvePoint's broader data governance, protection and management, from one NASDAQ-listed data-management leader with deep migration heritage.

One agent on every machine, one console over all of them — modules attach without a second operational world.

Part 03 · Evaluate

Twelve capabilities. Plan, move, assure.

Fly moves your cloud data reliably and faithfully — cloud adoption, M&A tenant-to-tenant, platform switches — the migration layer of the portfolio, and paired with the human firewall.

Plan
Assessment

Pre-Migration Assessment

Assess the source environment — what data exists, how much, its structure and dependencies, and potential issues — before migrating. So you plan accurately and avoid surprises. Knowing what you're moving is the foundation of a smooth migration.

Plan
Planning & waves

Migration Planning & Waves

Plan the migration — scope, sequence, and organise into waves (e.g. by department, in phases) — so a large migration is broken into manageable, low-risk stages. Structured planning turns a daunting migration into a controlled project.

Plan
Mapping

User, Permission & Structure Mapping

Map source users, permissions and structures to the destination — handling differences between tenants/platforms — so identities, access and organisation land correctly. Accurate mapping ensures the migrated environment works right, with the right access.

Move
Into M365

Migrate INTO Microsoft 365

Migrate from on-premises (SharePoint, file shares) or other sources INTO Microsoft 365 — the classic cloud-adoption migration. AvePoint's deep M365 heritage means thorough, faithful migration into SharePoint, OneDrive, Teams and more.

Move
Tenant-to-tenant

Tenant-to-Tenant Migration (M&A)

Migrate between Microsoft 365 tenants — essential for mergers, acquisitions, divestitures and restructures (combining or splitting tenants). Moving users, data and workspaces from one tenant to another, faithfully. A common, complex, high-stakes need Fly handles.

Move
Cross-platform

Cross-Platform Migration

Migrate across platforms — e.g. Google Workspace to Microsoft 365 (or vice versa), and Power Platform — handling the differences between platforms. So platform switches (a common strategic move) are done properly, with content and structure preserved.

Move
High fidelity

High-Fidelity Migration

Migrate with high fidelity — preserving structure, metadata, permissions, versions, timestamps and settings — so the destination faithfully reflects the source, and nothing important is lost or broken. Fidelity is what separates a good migration from a lossy, disruptive one.

Move
Scale & Azure-hosted

Scale & Azure-Hosted Performance

The Azure-hosted (SaaS) engine migrates at scale and speed — handling large volumes and many users efficiently, without heavy local infrastructure. So even big migrations complete in reasonable time. Cloud-scale migration, cloud-hosted.

Assure
Monitoring

Real-Time Monitoring & Dashboards

Monitor migrations in real time — progress, status, throughput — via dashboards — so you always know where the migration stands. Visibility means control: you can manage the migration actively, not fly blind.

Assure
Error handling

Error Handling & Incremental Sync

Handle errors gracefully (retry, report, resolve), and support incremental/delta migrations (sync only what's changed) — so migrations are reliable and can be run in stages with a final sync at cutover. Robust migration that copes with real-world issues.

Assure
Reporting

Detailed Reporting & Verification

Detailed reports of what was migrated (and any issues), and verification that content moved correctly — so you can prove and verify the migration's success, and address anything outstanding. Confidence that the migration is complete and correct.

Assure
Platform

Part of the Confidence Platform

Fly is part of AvePoint's Confidence Platform (Modernization suite) — so migration connects to AvePoint's broader data governance (Cloud Governance), protection (Cloud Backup) and management. Migrate, then govern and protect — a full data lifecycle from one leader.

Why Fly

The endpoint catches what arrives. Email stops it arriving.

Here’s what genuinely sets AvePoint Fly apart.

01

Migrations are complex and risky — purpose-built software does them properly

The fundamental reason AvePoint Fly exists is that cloud migrations — moving large volumes of critical data between environments — are complex and risky, and purpose-built migration software is what makes them reliable, faithful and low-disruption. Why organisations migrate: organisations regularly need to migrate cloud data, for reasons including: mergers and acquisitions (combining two companies' Microsoft 365 tenants); divestitures/restructures (splitting one tenant into two, or reorganising); cloud adoption (moving from on-premises SharePoint or file shares into Microsoft 365); platform switches (Google Workspace to Microsoft 365, or vice versa); and tenant consolidations. These are common, significant projects. Why they're complex and risky: migrations involve moving large volumes of critical data — emails, documents, SharePoint sites, Teams, OneDrive, permissions, metadata, versions — between different environments (on-prem to cloud, tenant to tenant, platform to platform), which differ in structure and how they store things. This is inherently complex, and things can go wrong: data can be lost or left behind; content can be corrupted or reformatted; permissions can be broken (people lose or gain wrong access); metadata, versions and timestamps can be stripped; the migration can drag on (prolonged disruption); and users can be confused or blocked. A botched migration is a serious problem — lost data, broken access, disrupted business, and a painful cleanup. Why basic/manual approaches fail: trying to migrate manually, or with basic/free tools, tends to fail at scale and fidelity — they can't preserve everything faithfully, handle large volumes reliably, map users/permissions correctly, or provide the planning and monitoring a real migration needs. The result is data loss, errors and disruption. What purpose-built migration software provides: AvePoint Fly is purpose-built for this — it assesses and plans the migration, maps source to destination (users, permissions, structure), migrates at scale with high fidelity (preserving structure, metadata, permissions, versions), and monitors and reports throughout. So the migration is reliable (data moves completely and correctly), faithful (nothing important lost), controlled (planned, monitored, verified), and low-disruption. The value: a migration done right — with data intact, permissions correct, minimal disruption, and completed efficiently — versus a botched one is the difference between a smooth transition and a costly disaster. Purpose-built software like Fly is what makes the difference. For any organisation facing a cloud migration (M&A, cloud adoption, platform switch), using proper migration software is essential to do it properly. TechBag helps organisations run reliable cloud migrations with AvePoint Fly. TechBag helps you migrate without losing data or disrupting users.

02

High fidelity — preserve structure, metadata and permissions

A defining strength of AvePoint Fly is high-fidelity migration — preserving structure, metadata, permissions, versions and more — which matters because fidelity is what determines whether the migrated environment actually works correctly, and whether anything important is lost. What fidelity means: a migration isn't just copying files — it's moving data with all its context intact. High fidelity means preserving: Structure — the organisation of content (site hierarchies, folder structures, libraries) so the destination is organised like the source. Metadata — the data about the data (properties, tags, columns, content types) that gives content meaning and enables findability. Permissions — who can access what, so the right people retain the right access (and wrong access isn't granted). Versions — the version history of documents (important for records and compliance). Timestamps and authorship — created/modified dates and authors (important for context, compliance and legal). Why fidelity matters so much: if these are lost or broken in migration, the destination is degraded or broken: content is disorganised or unfindable (lost structure/metadata); people can't access what they need, or can access what they shouldn't (broken permissions — a security and productivity problem); version history and audit trails are lost (a compliance/records problem); and context is lost (wrong dates/authors). A low-fidelity migration produces a mess that's worse than the source and requires painful cleanup. High fidelity means the destination faithfully reflects the source — organised, findable, correctly permissioned, with history intact — so it just works. AvePoint Fly's fidelity: Fly migrates with high fidelity, preserving structure, metadata, permissions, versions, timestamps and settings — handling the complexities of different platforms and tenants — so the migrated environment is faithful and functional. This reflects AvePoint's deep migration expertise (it has run some of the largest, most complex M365 migrations). The value: high fidelity is what makes a migration genuinely successful — the destination works correctly, nothing important is lost, permissions are right, and there's no painful post-migration cleanup. It's arguably the most important quality of migration software, and Fly delivers it. For any organisation migrating critical data, fidelity is essential — and AvePoint's is a genuine strength. TechBag helps organisations migrate with high fidelity using AvePoint Fly. TechBag helps you migrate faithfully, with nothing lost.

03

Tenant-to-tenant & cross-platform — handle M&A and platform switches

A key strength of AvePoint Fly is its ability to handle the hardest migration scenarios — tenant-to-tenant (for mergers, acquisitions, divestitures) and cross-platform (e.g. Google to Microsoft 365) — which matters because these are common, high-stakes, and especially complex. Tenant-to-tenant migration (M&A): one of the most common and challenging migration scenarios is moving between Microsoft 365 tenants — driven by: mergers and acquisitions (combining two companies' M365 tenants into one); divestitures (splitting a tenant when part of a business is sold); and restructures/consolidations. These tenant-to-tenant (T2T) migrations are high-stakes (they follow major corporate events, with pressure to integrate quickly) and complex (moving users, mailboxes, SharePoint, Teams, OneDrive, permissions between two live tenants, mapping identities, handling coexistence). Getting T2T migration right is critical for M&A success — and hard. Cross-platform migration: another challenging scenario is migrating across different platforms — e.g. Google Workspace to Microsoft 365 (a common switch as organisations standardise on M365), or vice versa, or involving Power Platform. Cross-platform migration is complex because the platforms differ fundamentally in structure and features, so content must be mapped and transformed between them. AvePoint Fly handles both: Fly is built to handle these hardest scenarios — tenant-to-tenant (with user mapping, coexistence, and faithful movement between tenants) and cross-platform (mapping and transforming between different platforms). So the complex, high-stakes migrations — M&A tenant consolidations, platform switches — are done properly and reliably. AvePoint's deep experience (having run large, complex migrations) shows here. Why this matters: these scenarios are exactly where migrations most often go wrong (their complexity) and where the stakes are highest (M&A integration, strategic platform switches). Being able to handle them reliably — with fidelity, at scale, with proper planning and monitoring — is genuinely valuable. Basic tools often can't handle T2T or cross-platform well; Fly can. The value: for organisations facing M&A (needing T2T migration) or platform switches (needing cross-platform migration) — both common, important, complex scenarios — AvePoint Fly's ability to handle them reliably is a real strength, turning a risky, complex project into a controlled one. TechBag helps organisations run tenant-to-tenant and cross-platform migrations with AvePoint Fly. TechBag helps you handle M&A and platform migrations reliably.

04

Planning, monitoring & control — run migrations as managed projects

A significant strength of AvePoint Fly is that it provides the planning, monitoring, reporting and control to run migrations as managed projects — not just a data-copy tool — which matters because successful migrations require management, not just movement. Migration is a project, not just a copy: a real migration — especially at scale — is a project: it needs planning (what to move, in what order), execution management (running it in controlled stages, handling issues), monitoring (tracking progress), and verification (confirming success). Just running a bulk copy without this management leads to chaos — unclear progress, unhandled errors, uncertain completeness, and disruption. The management around the migration is as important as the movement itself. What Fly provides for management: Assessment and planning — understand the source, scope the migration, and plan it (including in waves/phases) so it's controlled and low-risk. Mapping — define how source maps to destination (users, permissions, structure) upfront. Real-time monitoring — dashboards showing progress, status and throughput, so you always know where the migration stands and can manage it actively. Error handling — graceful handling of issues (retry, report), with incremental/delta sync so you can run in stages and do a final sync at cutover. Reporting and verification — detailed reports of what moved (and any issues), and verification of success, so you can prove and confirm completeness and address anything outstanding. This makes migration a managed, controlled, verifiable project — planned, monitored, and confirmed — rather than a risky, opaque bulk operation. Why this matters: this management capability is what makes migrations succeed reliably: you plan properly (avoiding surprises), execute in controlled stages (low risk), see progress (control), handle issues (robustness), and verify success (confidence). Without it, migrations are risky and stressful; with it, they're controlled and predictable. For large or complex migrations especially, this project-management capability is essential. The value: AvePoint Fly lets organisations run migrations as controlled, monitored, verifiable projects — with the planning, visibility, error-handling and reporting that ensure success and minimise risk and disruption. This turns a daunting, risky migration into a managed, confident one. For any significant migration, this control is genuinely valuable. TechBag helps organisations run controlled, monitored migrations with AvePoint Fly. TechBag helps you manage migrations, not just run them.

05

From a migration-expert, listed leader — with the Confidence Platform

AvePoint Fly comes from AvePoint — a NASDAQ-listed data-management leader with deep, proven migration expertise — and is part of its broader Confidence Platform, which matters because migration is high-stakes and benefits from a proven, expert vendor with a broader data-management capability. Deep, proven migration expertise: AvePoint has deep migration heritage — it's long been a leading Microsoft 365/SharePoint migration provider, and has run some of the largest and most complex M365 migrations (including major enterprise and government moves). So Fly is built on real, extensive migration experience — the hard-won knowledge of what makes migrations succeed (and fail) at scale. For a high-stakes migration, having software from a vendor that has genuinely done this at scale, many times, provides real confidence. Migration is AvePoint's core expertise. A proven, listed vendor: AvePoint is NASDAQ-listed (AVPT), with 28,000+ customers — a proven, established, publicly-accountable data-management leader. For a critical project like a migration, this stability and proven track record matter. The Confidence Platform — migrate then manage: Fly is part of AvePoint's Confidence Platform, alongside Cloud Governance (Control) and Cloud Backup (Resilience). This matters because migration is often the start of a data lifecycle: after you migrate data into (say) Microsoft 365, you need to govern it (Cloud Governance — manage provisioning, access, sprawl) and protect it (Cloud Backup). AvePoint provides all of these in one platform — so you can migrate, then govern and protect, with one vendor. This is valuable: rather than migrate with one tool and then govern/protect with others, you get a coherent lifecycle from one leader. For organisations thinking beyond the migration to ongoing management, this is a real advantage. Why this matters: adopting AvePoint Fly means getting your high-stakes migration from a migration-expert, listed, proven leader — with the confidence that provides — and a path to govern and protect the migrated data (the Confidence Platform). For organisations that value migration expertise and a broader data-management capability, this is compelling. TechBag supplies AvePoint Fly with local scoping and support, and can scope the broader platform. TechBag provides migration from a proven, expert data-management leader.

06

The honest scope

AvePoint Fly is cloud-migration software — moving data, content and workspaces into, between and across cloud platforms (Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, Power Platform, and from on-premises) with high fidelity (preserving structure, metadata, permissions, versions), handling tenant-to-tenant (M&A) and cross-platform scenarios, at scale, with planning, monitoring and reporting. Azure-hosted (SaaS), part of AvePoint's Confidence Platform (Modernization suite), from a NASDAQ-listed data-management leader with deep migration heritage. The honest framing: the migration-software market (especially M365 migration) is competitive, with strong specialists — ShareGate (a very popular, user-friendly M365/SharePoint migration tool), Quest (On Demand Migration and Metalogix — strong, especially for tenant-to-tenant/M&A), BitTitan (MigrationWiz — widely used, MSP-popular), CloudFuze, and Tzunami. Many are capable and established. AvePoint Fly's distinctive strengths are: its deep, proven migration expertise (from running some of the largest M365 migrations); its high fidelity; its handling of complex scenarios (tenant-to-tenant, cross-platform); its Azure-hosted scale; and its place in the broader Confidence Platform (so migration connects to governance and backup — migrate then manage). Relative to ShareGate (loved for ease of use and popular for simpler SharePoint migrations) or Quest/BitTitan (strong for T2T/M&A), Fly competes on enterprise-scale fidelity, complex-scenario handling, and the integrated platform (migrate → govern → protect). It's most compelling for larger, more complex migrations — M&A tenant-to-tenant, cross-platform, big cloud-adoption moves — and when you want a path to govern/protect the data afterwards (Confidence Platform). For simpler SharePoint migrations with maximum ease, ShareGate may appeal; for pure T2T, Quest/BitTitan are strong too. TechBag scopes Fly honestly against ShareGate, Quest and BitTitan, and licenses it in INR/GST with local support.

The 8 questions to ask every vendor

Take this into your next vendor call — including ours.

1
The scenario

What's your migration — into M365 (cloud adoption), tenant-to-tenant (M&A/restructure), or cross-platform (Google↔M365)? Fly handles all.

2
Fidelity

Do you need to preserve structure, metadata, permissions and version history? High fidelity is essential — Fly delivers it.

3
Scale

How much data and how many users? Fly's Azure-hosted engine handles large scale efficiently.

4
Complexity

Is it complex (T2T, cross-platform, coexistence)? These are where migrations go wrong — Fly handles them; basic tools often can't.

5
Management

Value planning (waves), real-time monitoring, error handling and verification? Fly runs migration as a managed project.

6
After migration

Will you want to govern and protect the migrated data? AvePoint's Confidence Platform (Cloud Governance, Cloud Backup) provides the lifecycle.

7
Vs alternatives

Weigh Fly (enterprise scale, complex scenarios, +platform) vs ShareGate (ease), Quest/BitTitan (T2T) for your migration.

8
Licensing

Size by migration scope (users/data), and quote in INR/GST — TechBag scopes it (often project-based).

FAQ

Questions buyers ask

AvePoint Fly is cloud-migration software — it moves your data, content and workspaces into, between and across cloud platforms like Microsoft 365, Google Workspace and Power Platform: from on-premises or another cloud INTO Microsoft 365, from one Microsoft 365 tenant to another (tenant-to-tenant), or across platforms (e.g. Google Workspace to Microsoft 365). Organisations regularly need to migrate cloud data — during mergers and acquisitions (combining tenants), divestitures (splitting tenants), cloud adoption (on-premises SharePoint/file shares into M365), platform switches (Google to M365), or consolidations. These migrations are complex and risky: you're moving large volumes of critical data (emails, documents, sites, Teams, permissions, metadata) between environments, and if done badly, data is lost, corrupted, mis-permissioned, or the migration drags on and disrupts users. Fly is purpose-built to do this properly — an Azure-hosted (SaaS) migration platform that moves content with high fidelity (preserving structure, metadata, permissions and versions), handles large scale, supports tenant-to-tenant and cross-platform moves, and provides the assessment, planning, mapping, monitoring and reporting to run migrations reliably and with minimal disruption. It's part of AvePoint's Confidence Platform (Modernization suite), from AvePoint — a NASDAQ-listed (AVPT), 28,000+-customer data-management leader with deep Microsoft-migration heritage (having run some of the largest M365 migrations). TechBag scopes, licenses and supports it in INR/GST.
