Migrations that stay calm

We start with discovery and a pilot to confirm mail flow, permissions, and edge cases before moving everyone. Then we migrate in controlled batches, validate results, and provide hypercare support so users stay productive during the transition.

Governance that prevents mess later

We design SharePoint/Drive structure, ownership rules, and sharing policies so collaboration stays organized and least-privilege by default. Retention and DLP help reduce accidental exposure—without blocking normal work.

Backups beyond ‘recycle bin’

SaaS backup gives independent point-in-time recovery for mail and files. We also schedule restore tests so you know recovery works—before a deletion, ransomware, or account compromise forces the issue.

Backups beyond ‘recycle bin’

Common pain points

  • Scattered files and permissive sharing
  • Legacy mailboxes, PST sprawl, and unclear ownership
  • No governance: retention/DLP/audit settings missing
  • Teams/Meet and shared drives become chaotic

Business outcomes

  • Cleaner structure with ownership + secure sharing defaults
  • Predictable migration with validation and rollback plan
  • Retention + DLP policies with auditing/reporting
  • SaaS backup with restore testing and recovery confidence

FAQs

How long does a Microsoft 365 / Workspace migration take?

Most SMB migrations run a few weeks depending on mailbox count, file volume, and governance needs. We usually start with a pilot, then migrate in batches to keep disruption low.

Can you migrate without downtime?

We plan cutovers to minimize downtime and user impact. Most users experience minimal interruption, and we validate results with a clear rollback option if needed.

Do you set up DLP and retention policies?

Yes. We can implement retention rules/labels, sharing controls, auditing, and reporting so collaboration stays secure and compliant.

Is SaaS backup necessary if we use Microsoft/Google?

Native retention/recycle bin features aren’t the same as independent backup. SaaS backup provides point-in-time recovery for mail and files, plus restore testing for real confidence.
