Microsoft 365 Migration in Lewes
Move your team to Microsoft 365 with zero data loss and minimal downtime: full mailbox, calendar, and document migration included.
Working with Lewes businesses week in, week out — near Lewes Castle 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.
The Lewes Context
As a market town with a strong independent business culture across the Ouse Valley, Lewes hosts many established firms operating on email systems that predate modern cloud infrastructure. Moving to Microsoft 365 means better file sharing and calendar management across a small team, but the migration itself is the risky moment: poor planning can lose months of correspondence, supplier invoices, and customer records. I run a complete audit, a zero-disruption migration, and stay available throughout the switchover to ensure continuity.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long will the migration to Microsoft 365 actually take to complete?
The migration itself typically completes overnight—usually 4–6 hours. Your team returns Monday morning to full email and calendar access. I conduct a thorough audit beforehand, so the cutover itself is as smooth and quick as possible, with no surprises on the day.
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.
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 about shared mailboxes and distribution lists?
All migrated and recreated in Microsoft 365. Shared mailboxes, group addresses, and mailing lists carry over intact.
