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.

The Burgess Hill Context

Burgess Hill's industrial estates and mix of new-build and established housing attracts both residential and B2B trades work, with established operators managing commercial as well as domestic clients. These businesses accumulate email across years: sometimes on-premise servers, sometimes scattered cloud accounts, sometimes a chaotic mix. Microsoft 365 brings everything into one professional system with proper backup, shared access, and compliance features that commercial clients increasingly demand. I handle the full pre-migration audit, coordinate the cutover, and support your team through the transition.

Your Questions, Answered

Do commercial clients expect anything specific from our email platform?

Yes. Commercial clients increasingly expect professional compliance features, secure email, and proper backup systems. Microsoft 365 gives you those out of the box—multi-factor authentication, encrypted email options, and automatic backup. It's the platform major firms expect when they're vetting tradespeople for contracts.

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.

Do you handle Teams setup too?

Yes. Teams channel structure, guest access, file storage integration, and staff onboarding are all included.

What does a Microsoft 365 migration involve?

Moving email, contacts, calendars, and documents from your current platform to Microsoft 365 with no data loss and minimal downtime.
