Microsoft 365, Exchange and SharePoint
A well-architected Microsoft 365 tenant is secure by default and simple to run. We design it, migrate mail and content into it and help you administer it, whether Exchange and SharePoint live in the cloud, on-premises or both.
Your situation
Is this what you are looking for?
If any of these sound familiar, this service is for you.
- You run Exchange or SharePoint Server that is past support
- Your tenant grew without a plan for permissions or licenses
- Mail migration or a company merger is coming up
- Teams and SharePoint sites are shared without clear rules
The work involved
What needs to be done
Whatever the size of the project, these are the steps that decide whether it succeeds.
- 1
Review the current tenant or servers
Check domains, licenses, security settings, mailbox sizes, site content and support dates. Exchange Server 2016 and 2019 and SharePoint Server 2016 and 2019 are past support, so plan their replacement.
- 2
Decide the target and the coexistence plan
Choose online, hybrid or on-premises for mail and content, and decide how users will work during the move.
- 3
Prepare identity, mail flow and content
Fix sign-in, DNS and certificate issues, and clean up old mailboxes and files, so the migration moves only what is worth moving.
- 4
Pilot, migrate in batches and verify
Move a pilot group first, then batches, and check mail, calendars, permissions and links after each one.
- 5
Secure, document and hand over administration
Turn on mail protection and retention, set sharing rules, and give administrators runbooks for joiners, leavers and common requests.

Common questions
Do we still need an on-premises Exchange server after migrating to Exchange Online?
It depends on how identities are managed. Many environments keep a small management server for recipient administration, and we assess the supported options for yours before decommissioning anything.
Our Exchange or SharePoint Server is old. What should we do?
Exchange Server 2016 and 2019 and SharePoint Server 2016 and 2019 are past their support dates. We help you choose between upgrading to the Subscription Edition and moving to Exchange Online and SharePoint Online, and plan either path.
Do you handle tenant-to-tenant migrations?
Yes. We plan mailbox, OneDrive, SharePoint and Teams moves, including coexistence while users transition.
Can you run administration for us?
We offer managed administration for day-to-day tasks, health checks and change requests, with scope and response times agreed up front.
