Import Data into Office 365 SharePoint Lists from External Sources

The biggest challenge of moving from SharePoint On-premises to Office 365 SharePoint online is data import and integration. Populating Office 365 lists and libraries with data from external sources is no easy task because your office 365 online is completely disconnected from your other sources of data such as your business applications that may be residing on-premises. In order to fully take advantage of the sharing and collaboration features of Office 365 SharePoint online, you need to have the right tools and resources to move your data from on-premises to the lists and libraries in SharePoint online. For example, you may want to move data from your SQL server or Exchange Server on-premises to SharePoint online Lists and document libraries.

Import External Data to Office 365 SharePoint online lists and libraries. Synchronize your data between your data source and SharePoint online. For example, if you have users, customers and vendors updating their business information in SharePoint online, you can have them updated and synchronized to your business application databases residing on premises.
Import and manage metadata of your Office 365 Lists and libraries. You can bridge your disconnected documents in Office 365 with external metadata from your data sources such as CRM and HR. You can now search, share and collaborate documents residing in SharePoint online with correct and effective metadata from your external data sources. With proper metadata updates your SharePoint online documents now come alive serving the business needs of your organization.
Exchange Data Integration – You can integrate mails and attachments with SharePoint online by importing them from your exchange server online or on-premises to SharePoint online. You can use powerful conditional queries for selective and granular movement of only the required attachments and mails to SharePoint Online, saving you valuable storage costs in Office 365. You can also import Public Folders with attachments and associated metadata and thus move away from Public Folders to the more collaborative SharePoint Office 365.
