The migrations we handle

Wherever your email and files live today, we move them to Microsoft 365 and set up the security before anyone starts using it.

Gmail and Google Drive to Microsoft 365

Gmail, Google Drive, contacts and calendars move to Exchange Online, OneDrive and SharePoint. Read what to plan when moving from Google Workspace.

On-premises Exchange

Exchange Server to Exchange Online

Hybrid or cutover migrations from Exchange Server with minimal downtime, and the full mailbox history kept.

Security from day one

Protected before the first mailbox moves

Every migration includes the full security set-up. Our automation deploys Conditional Access, MFA, email protection and Intune enrolment as part of the move, not after. See Microsoft 365 security.

  • Microsoft Intune

Our migration process

Four steps, planned so your staff keep working until the day you switch over.

01

Discovery and planning

We review your current set-up, map users and data, find dependencies and write a migration plan with a timeline.

02

Tenant set-up and security

We configure your Microsoft 365 tenant with our security automation, including Conditional Access, MFA, Exchange policies and Intune, before any data moves.

03

Data migration

Email, files and calendars are copied in the background. Your staff keep working on the old system until cutover.

04

Cutover and support

The DNS cutover is scheduled to keep disruption low. Afterwards we make sure every person is set up and comfortable.

From an office server to the cloud
