Cloud Services
Cloud migration without the lost-weekend stories
Mailboxes, files, identities and devices moved in a planned order with a rollback that actually works. Security configured at the same time, because a tenant with no MFA is just somebody else's mailbox waiting to happen.

What's included
What you actually get
Not a feature list assembled from datasheets — the work we do on every cloud services project, including the parts that get skipped when somebody is in a hurry.
Tenant design, not default settings
Groups and roles that match your org chart, shared mailboxes and distribution groups that do not leak internal traffic, and naming conventions set before you have 40 mailboxes to fix.
Email migration with a safety net
IMAP, cutover or staged, with the old system kept live until every folder has landed. Public folders, archives and that one PST from 2014 all get a plan.
Files that land somewhere sensible
SharePoint and OneDrive structured around how teams actually work, with sync tested on real laptops rather than assumed.
Identity and device security as part of the move
Multifactor authentication, conditional access, legacy authentication turned off, and Intune enrolment so lost laptops can be wiped. This is the part most self-serve migrations skip.
Licence right-sizing
Who genuinely needs the top tier, who needs the middle one, and what you are paying for that nobody has opened. Usually the most immediately useful thing we do.
Backup that is separate from the platform
Microsoft protects the infrastructure; your data needs its own copy with retention and a tested restore. We set both up and prove the restore works.
Who it suits
If any of these sound like you
- Businesses on a small on-premises Exchange or IMAP server they are nervous about
- Teams paying for Google Workspace and Microsoft 365 at the same time
- Anyone who has been told 'you should be in the cloud' with no plan attached
- Companies with an insurance or cyber policy asking for MFA and backups in writing
How it works
Four steps, no surprises
- 1
Inventory
Mailboxes, domains, DNS records, shared drives, line-of-business apps, telephony and anything that authenticates against what you have now.
- 2
Sequence and dry run
Everything is ordered so nothing depends on something not moved yet. Test accounts migrate first and get checked before the real cut-over.
- 3
Cut over in a window
Usually a Friday afternoon or weekend. DNS TTLs lowered in advance, so propagation is boring rather than dramatic.
- 4
Settle-in support
The first two weeks generate the questions — Outlook profiles, mobile devices, 'where did my folder go'. That is expected and included.
Questions
The things people ask first
Will we lose email during the migration?
No. Both systems run side by side until the final sync, and mail sent to the old address still arrives. We only flip DNS once the target mailbox has been verified.
Is Microsoft 365 secure out of the box?
Not by default. Multifactor authentication is available but not enforced on a new tenant, and legacy authentication is often left enabled. Enforcing both is a small part of the project and the single biggest reduction in compromise risk.
Do we need to replace our file server?
Not immediately, and not always at all. A few terabytes of archive is often better on-premises or on a cheap object store than in SharePoint. We will tell you which folders belong in which place.
What happens to our licences when staff leave?
The licence is removed, access is revoked and the mailbox is converted to a shared one or retained under your retention policy, so a departing employee never becomes a lost inbox.
We already use 365 but it is a mess. Is it too late?
No — tidying an existing tenant is common work. Groups, permissions and shared-mailbox sprawl get cleaned up, and it usually lowers the licence bill at the same time.
