Migrating from Barracuda to Office 365: Streamlining Email Management
Businesses using Barracuda Email Security Gateway or Barracuda Essentials often seek a more integrated and scalable solution like Microsoft Office 365. Migrating to Office 365 not only consolidates email management but also enhances security, compliance, and collaboration through cloud-based tools like Exchange Online, Teams, and OneDrive.
