Intermedia to Office 365 Migration
Intermedia Exchange → direct Microsoft 365 tenant. Full-fidelity EWS migration with the Intermedia-specific parts handled: HostPilot coordination, DNS unlock, contract-end throttling, cancellation timing. From $15/user.
BitTitan Certified · Zero Data Loss Record · DNS Handled
Every mailbox. Every folder. Verified.
What staying actually costs.
Intermedia’s per-seat pricing for Exchange alone approaches Microsoft 365 Business Standard with the full app stack. The gap widens every renewal.
EWS throughput tightens for bulk export near contract end. Parallel small batches beat one big one — and pre-staging beats both.
Domains registered through Intermedia need unlocking and re-pointing — a project step people discover at cutover midnight. We do it first.
Intermedia purges mailboxes quickly after termination. Never cancel before verification — we sequence billing overlap so there’s zero gap.
Everything handled. Nothing assumed.
EWS full-fidelity transfer
Intermedia runs real Exchange — mail, calendars, contacts, and tasks migrate server-side in one pass with folder permissions intact.
HostPilot coordination
Admin credentials, export access, and DNS management through Intermedia’s HostPilot portal — coordinated by us, not left to you to decode.
Pre-stage + nightly delta
Data copies for days or weeks before cutover with nightly delta syncs, sized to Intermedia’s throttling behavior.
DNS unlock & transfer
Domains registered or DNS-hosted at Intermedia get unlocked and re-pointed (or transferred out) as an explicit project step before cutover night.
Shared mailboxes & aliases
Recreated in Microsoft 365 with delegation verified — including the service accounts and scanners nobody documented.
Cancellation sequencing
We verify every mailbox in M365 before you terminate — because Intermedia deprovisions fast and there is no undo.
Assess. Plan. Migrate. Cutover.
Assess
1-2 days · Source audit, mailbox inventory, domain list. Fixed per-user quote in 24-48 hours.
Plan
1-2 days · Microsoft 365 tenant provisioned, domains verified, MFA + security baseline deployed.
Migrate
Background · Server-side pre-stage sync runs invisibly. Users keep working on the old system until cutover.
Cutover
2-4 hrs off-hours · MX/SPF/DKIM flip, final delta sync, Autodiscover repoint. 30 days hypercare.
The engineers on your project.
No outsourced ticket triage. The same three engineers handle source assessment, tenant provisioning, cutover night, and post-migration support on every Intermedia engagement.

The Intermedia-specific realities.
Generic migration guides skip these. They are the operational details that decide whether your cutover weekend is boring — which is the goal.
Intermedia’s EWS throttling tightens for bulk export — parallel small batches beat one big one, and early pre-staging beats both
DNS is often registered and locked through Intermedia — we unlock and re-point it as an explicit step, never a midnight surprise
Cancel only after verification: Intermedia purges mailboxes quickly post-termination, and there is no grace-period undo
