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.

Why Newhaven Businesses Choose Local Support

Newhaven's mix of port industry, light manufacturing, and residential maintenance creates a busy trades and service sector with established operators running email across multiple legacy platforms. Consolidating onto Microsoft 365 is the obvious modern choice, but many firms defer it because the migration feels risky: downtime, lost files, and confused staff during a botched transfer can hobble a business for days. I plan the full audit, execute a zero-downtime cutover late one evening, and provide post-migration support so the transition is seamless.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can we keep using our old email while testing Microsoft 365 first?

Yes. I run a parallel-migration period where both systems work simultaneously. Once you confirm everything is working correctly—all email, calendars, and files syncing properly—we switch over completely. This gives you confidence and a safety net if anything needs adjustment.

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 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.

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.

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.
