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 Crowborough Context

Crowborough's position in the High Weald, sitting above Ashdown Forest and drawing a professional residential population, attracts established trades businesses managing work across surrounding villages like Hartfield, Forest Row, and Maresfield. These operations accumulate email and documents across multiple systems as they grow, and coordinating across team members and multiple properties becomes fragmented. Microsoft 365 consolidation creates a unified platform for email, calendar sharing, and secure document access across a dispersed team. I handle the complete migration audit, schedule the evening cutover, and support your team through post-migration stabilisation.

Common Questions

Our team is scattered across Forest Row, Hartfield, and rural locations. Will Microsoft 365 work reliably out here?

Yes. As long as you have an internet connection—mobile data, home broadband, or WiFi at a customer's site—Microsoft 365 works perfectly. Email and files sync automatically, so you're never out of touch or working with outdated information, even in remote High Weald locations.

What about shared mailboxes and distribution lists?

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

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.

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.

Will my phone sync automatically after migration?

Yes. I set up mobile devices to sync with the new accounts before the cutover, so staff switch seamlessly without losing access.

How Many Leads Is Your Website Losing You?
