The Problem

being stuck on an ageing email platform or on-premise server, knowing you need to move to Microsoft 365 but dreading the data loss and downtime.

What I Do

a fully planned Microsoft 365 migration with zero downtime cutover: every mailbox, document, and calendar migrated and verified, with your team set up on the new system before the old one is switched off.

Why Brighton Businesses Choose Local Support

Brighton's competitive market of sole traders and small agencies across Hanover, Hollingbury, and beyond means established service businesses often carry years of accumulated email through ageing hosting or legacy systems. Moving to Microsoft 365 is the logical modernisation, but requires meticulous planning and someone on-site throughout the overnight cutover to ensure every message, calendar entry, and document transfers cleanly. I handle the complete audit, the zero-loss migration, and the handover so you restart work Monday with everything intact and accounted for.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will email be down during the overnight Microsoft 365 cutover?

No. I plan a parallel-run migration running in the background while your old system stays live. Once everything transfers cleanly, we switch over during late Sunday night—typically 30 minutes—so your team resumes Monday morning with full access to all email, calendars, and files without a single lost message.

Can you migrate from Google Workspace?

Yes. Gmail to Outlook, Google Drive to OneDrive, Google Calendar to Outlook Calendar. Full migration with no lost data.

What if something goes wrong during migration?

I run a parallel period where the old system stays live as a fallback. Nothing is deleted until you've confirmed the new setup is working perfectly.

Can you handle SharePoint configuration?

Basic SharePoint setup is included. Custom SharePoint development is scoped separately.

What about shared mailboxes and distribution lists?

All migrated and recreated in Microsoft 365. Shared mailboxes, group addresses, and mailing lists carry over intact.
