Discovery and planning
An inventory of mailboxes, shared mailboxes, aliases, file locations and DNS records, and a cutover plan with dates agreed in advance.
Microsoft 365 Migration & Setup
Every mailbox and file moved, into a tenant set up properly from day one.
What is a Microsoft 365 migration?
A Microsoft 365 migration moves email, calendars, contacts and files from another platform, such as Google Workspace, an on-premises Exchange server or a reseller-managed account, into a Microsoft 365 tenant that the business controls. Done properly, staff finish Friday in the old system and start Monday in the new one with nothing missing.
Businesses arrive at Microsoft 365 from all sorts of starting points: Google Workspace, an ageing Exchange server in a cupboard, a subscription bought through a domain registrar with limited admin access, or a mix of personal and business addresses that grew up over the years.
We plan the move around your working week. Mail, calendars, contacts and files are copied ahead of time, the switch happens outside business hours, and the new tenant has sensible security and licensing in place before anyone signs in.
What is included
Everything in the service.
Tenant setup
A tenant in the name of your business, with admin roles, licensing, sign-in security and naming standards in place.
Email migration
Mail, calendars and contacts copied from Google Workspace, IMAP, Exchange or another tenant, with a final sync at cutover.
File migration
Shared drives and personal files moved into SharePoint and OneDrive, keeping folder structure and, where possible, permissions.
DNS and mail authentication
MX, SPF, DKIM and DMARC records updated so mail arrives reliably and your domain is harder to spoof.
Leaving reseller accounts
Moving out of a Microsoft 365 subscription bought through a reseller such as GoDaddy into one you fully control.
First-morning support
Help getting Outlook, phones and Teams connected on the first day, so nobody is left without mail.
Questions
Microsoft 365 Migration & Setup, answered.
Will we lose email during the move?
No. Mail is copied in the background before cutover, and a final sync after the DNS change catches anything that arrived in between. Staff may see a short delay while records update, not missing mail.
How long does a migration take?
For a small office, planning to cutover usually takes a few weeks, most of it preparation that does not disturb anyone. The switch itself happens outside working hours.
Can you move us from Google Workspace?
Yes. Gmail, Google Calendar, contacts and Google Drive files all move across, and we help staff settle into Outlook and OneDrive afterwards.
Do we keep our domain name?
Yes, it stays yours. We update the records at your registrar to point mail at Microsoft 365, and the domain stays registered in your name.
