The Challenge
Business Problems We Solve
Lost email & data
Botched migrations drop messages, calendar items and files that can't be recovered.
Extended downtime
Poorly planned cut-overs leave staff without email for hours or days.
Mail flow breakage
DNS and routing mistakes cause bounced or lost mail after the switch.
Broken permissions
Shared mailboxes and folder access often stop working post-migration.
Confused users
Staff left without guidance struggle to reconnect Outlook and mobile devices.
Legacy sprawl
Years of PST files and old archives make a clean move harder than it looks.
How We Work
A Safe, Planned Migration Path
1. Assess
We audit your current mail, data, volumes and any legacy archives.
2. Prepare
We ready the tenant, map users and permissions, and set up mail routing.
3. Migrate
We move data in waves, syncing until the final cut-over is ready.
4. Cut-over
We switch DNS, reconnect clients and validate every mailbox and share.

Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Will we lose any email or data during migration?
No. We migrate in waves with synchronisation and validation at every stage, and keep the source live until cut-over is confirmed, so mailboxes, calendars, contacts and files transfer complete and intact.
How much downtime should we expect?
Very little. Most of the data moves in the background while you keep working, and the final cut-over is scheduled for a low-impact window so staff experience minimal interruption.
Can you migrate from Google Workspace or another host?
Yes. We migrate from on-premise Exchange, Google Workspace, IMAP or POP hosts and PST archives into Microsoft 365, mapping users and permissions from whatever source you're on today.
What happens to shared mailboxes and permissions?
We map and preserve shared mailboxes, distribution lists, folder permissions and archives so access continues to work exactly as your team expects after the move.
Will you reconnect Outlook and mobile devices?
Yes. As part of cut-over we reconfigure Outlook profiles and mobile mail, then validate every account so users are back up and running with support on hand.
