Process

Our Office 365 experts will listen to your requirements and help you select theright migration plan*. We then discuss the migration requirements for the email and/or file migration, build a plan and thenexecute

Migrate Email

We understand how important email is to an organisation. Our mail migration process gathers email, calendar entries¹ and contacts² information from Exchange, Gmail, IMAP or POP3 accounts and copies to Office365

We can also reconfigure and update Outlook automatically to provide a virtually hands freemigration

Migrate Files

Moving files to SharePoint Online or OneDrive for Business is a great way to ensure that files can be accessed anywhere on virtually any device. We help to move your files from their existing on-premises file shares, document management environments (including SharePoint) or existing SharePoint Online and OneDrive environments.

We do an assessment first on the existing data stores, provide a report, build a plan and migrate as required.

5 ways we make mail migration to Office 365 easy:

  • We find the active mail accounts
  • We set up each account in Office 365 with the right licence
  • We set up the Office 365 passwords to match those of your current system
  • We convert appropriate mailboxes to shared mailboxes to save you money
  • We update Outlook on the PC with new Office 365 settings

Email Migration Approach

1. Discovery

We scan your mail system for all accounts including shared mailboxes, distribution lists & public folders

2. Scope

We agree which mailboxes are going to be migrated –and which are going to be user accounts or shared mailboxes

3. Exchange Users

We install our Exchange Assistant which allows us to set permissions on Public Folders & Mailboxes or Calendars

4. Password Capture

As required, we ask each person in scope of the migration to enter their username and password into a secure email tool so we can capture their email for the migration. We’ll track this so we know who needs reminding

5. PC Outlook Users

We install a small application which will set-up a new Outlook profile ready for Office 365 and we also attempt to move the signature block, address, auto complete and reattach any PSTs as required

6. Pre-Migration

We set up each user’s Office 365 account with the same password as their existing account and start migrating their mail

7. Switch Over

For PC users we automatically update Outlook with new settings and provide you with clear instructions on when to update DNS settings. You are now on Office 365 Exchange Online

How We Do It - File Migration

1. Discovery

We scan the files on the platform(s) they currently reside and provide a detailed report

2. Scope

With the report, and in consultation with you, we agree on what files are to be moved and to where. We then develop a scope to be followed for the migration

3. Staging

Our migration expert then begins to stage the data to the SharePoint Site or OneDrive for Business instance. No cutover is performed until you are satisfied that the data has been appropriately or fully synchronised

4. Cutover

At this stage the new SharePoint or OneDrive for Business instance is presented to the users and access to the source data is either removed or changed to read-only
