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 Seaford Context

Seaford's independent tradespeople often run established businesses with years of accumulated email in old systems, built on loyal customer bases and personal relationships. Modernising to Microsoft 365 is a logical step for better collaboration and cloud storage, but the migration is the tricky part: one mistake and you lose correspondence that cost years to build. I do a thorough pre-migration audit, handle the full mailbox and calendar transfer, and schedule the switchover for a weekend night so nothing disrupts your Monday operations.

Questions I Hear a Lot

If we move to Microsoft 365, can we still reach the customers we've served for years?

Completely. Your email address will be you@yourcompany.co.uk instead of whatever old system you were on—far more professional. All your customer contacts migrate across, and you keep every message and conversation from before the switch.

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.

Do you handle Teams setup too?

Yes. Teams channel structure, guest access, file storage integration, and staff onboarding are all included.

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 handle SharePoint configuration?

Basic SharePoint setup is included. Custom SharePoint development is scoped separately.
