How do I ensure efficient capacity and migration planning?

You need to constantly monitor the storage components such as mailboxes, public folders, databases, servers, and more in your organization. This comes in handy during capacity and migration planning. It also helps ensure efficient resource management. For e.g., you do not need more servers than absolutely necessary in order to host all the mailboxes in your organization. Track the free and used server space to ensure that company resources are not being wasted.
