Migration & setup

Move cleanly, without the drama.

Bad migrations cost weeks of productivity and trust. I plan carefully, cut over in quiet hours, and stay close in the days afterwards so the team barely notices anything has changed.

What's included

Email migrations

From personal Gmail, Outlook.com, an old Exchange server, hosted Exchange or a previous Microsoft 365 / Google tenant. Folders, rules and shared mailboxes preserved.

File & shared drive migration

Local file servers, Dropbox, OneDrive, Google Drive and SharePoint, moved into a clean, well-structured target with sensible permissions.

Third-party account moves

Banking, accounts, CRM, design tools and other SaaS accounts moved off personal addresses onto your domain, with ownership properly transferred.

Tenant build & branding

New Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace tenant set up with your domain, branding, security baselines and licensing in place from day one.

Out-of-hours cutover

Mail flow and final data sync happen overnight or at weekends. Users log in the next morning and just keep working.

Handover documentation

Every account, password reset path, admin contact and licence written down and handed to you, so you're never locked into a single provider.

What you can expect

  • Zero or near-zero downtime on the day of cutover
  • No lost mail, contacts, calendars or files
  • A clean, well-structured starting point, not a copied-over mess
  • Full documentation you own and can take anywhere

Migration & Setup FAQ

Common questions.

  • From first call to go-live, two to four weeks for a small team is typical. The cutover itself usually happens overnight.

  • No. People keep using the old system right up to cutover. The next morning their mail and files are in the new platform, with the same folders and structure.

  • Yes. I'll work with them where they're cooperative, and around them where they're not. Either way the data, accounts and ownership end up firmly with you.
