Microsoft 365 Migration in Chichester
Move your team to Microsoft 365 with zero data loss and minimal downtime: full mailbox, calendar, and document migration included.
If you're in Chichester, you're in my patch: on-site visits, remote support, and honest advice from someone local.
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.
Local Knowledge Matters in Chichester
Chichester's affluent catchment spans the city itself and surrounding villages like Bosham and Fishbourne, where high-value trade work attracts established operators managing multiple properties and complex projects. These businesses typically run on email systems pieced together over years: old on-premise servers, multiple Gmail accounts, or scattered inboxes across staff devices. Migrating cleanly to Microsoft 365 is critical because any lost correspondence or delayed calendar sync directly impacts reputation. I conduct the complete audit, execute a careful cutover, and stay available to resolve post-migration issues within hours.

Your Questions, Answered
Can Microsoft 365 handle our shared mailboxes for enquiries and invoicing?
Yes. I set up shared inboxes like enquiries@yourcompany.co.uk or invoices@yourcompany.co.uk so multiple team members see and respond to the same email thread. This eliminates forwarding chains and ensures nothing falls through the cracks when someone is busy with a site visit.
What if we have a lot of historic email?
Large mailboxes migrate in the background while users keep working. I'll plan the sequence so nothing is disrupted.
What about shared mailboxes and distribution lists?
All migrated and recreated in Microsoft 365. Shared mailboxes, group addresses, and mailing lists carry over intact.
Can you handle SharePoint configuration?
Basic SharePoint setup is included. Custom SharePoint development is scoped separately.
Will there be any email downtime?
With a properly planned cutover, typically zero downtime. We migrate in the background and switch over in a 30-minute window, usually overnight.
