Microsoft 365 Migration in Hove
Move your team to Microsoft 365 with zero data loss and minimal downtime: full mailbox, calendar, and document migration included.
Working with Hove businesses week in, week out — near Hove Lawns or anywhere across the wider area.
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.
How This Plays Out in Hove
Many service businesses operating from Church Road and around Hove Park started with basic email setups years ago and are ready to consolidate onto Microsoft 365. A botched migration risks losing critical correspondence with suppliers and customers, so the approach matters: careful planning, a detailed audit, and someone standing by during cutover to catch issues early. I handle every step from the initial assessment through the overnight switchover and post-launch support to ensure the transition is seamless.

Your Questions, Answered
Can you migrate our email without disrupting our team's work week?
Absolutely. I schedule the migration cutover for late Sunday evening or another off-peak window that suits your business rhythm. Your old email system stays accessible as a fallback until you confirm everything is working perfectly on Monday morning, so there's zero risk of losing access to critical messages.
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.
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.
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.
