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.

Local Knowledge Matters in Shoreham-by-Sea

Shoreham-by-Sea's varied housing stock—from Victorian and Edwardian terraces along the High Street to the unique houseboat community on the River Adur and substantial family homes across Upper Shoreham—means established tradespeople here manage diverse client bases with complex needs. Years of email, job records, and client correspondence accumulate across multiple systems, making consolidation onto Microsoft 365 a priority. The migration itself is the risky step: poor execution can scramble file access or disconnect calendars across your team. I run the full audit, plan a careful cutover, and stay on hand to resolve post-migration issues.

Your Questions, Answered

Houseboats and listed properties need specialist knowledge. How does Microsoft 365 help us show that?

OneDrive lets you organise project photos, site reports, and before-and-after documentation by property type or customer. Shared calendars show your availability and expertise across different job types. When you send estimates or follow-ups from your professional @company.co.uk email, the whole package—email address, shared calendar, organised files—signals competence and professionalism.

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.

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.

Do you handle Teams setup too?

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

How Many Leads Is Your Website Losing You?

Most trades websites quietly leak leads every week: slow load, buried phone number, missing local pages. Answer 10 quick questions and I'll show you exactly where yours is bleeding, how many enquiries it could be costing you each month, and the three fixes that would make the biggest difference.
