Microsoft 365 Migration Services
Since 2016, we have migrated 1.4 million users to Microsoft 365. As a Microsoft Solutions Partner, we migrate your organization's emails, files, calendars, and applications from on-premises systems or other cloud platforms to Microsoft 365 — with zero data loss, zero downtime, and guaranteed results.
Key Components
Migrate mailboxes, calendars, contacts, and rules from Exchange Server, Google Workspace, IMAP, or any email platform to Exchange Online. Includes shared mailboxes and distribution lists.
Email migration detailsMigration Approaches
Email Migration to Microsoft 365
We move your mailboxes, calendars, contacts, distribution lists, and mail rules to Exchange Online. Every email — sent, received, drafted, archived — lands in the right folder with timestamps and read status intact.
We pre-stage your data days before the cutover using delta syncs, then capture final changes in a 2-4 hour window — typically over a weekend. Users open Outlook on Monday and everything is there.
Supported source platforms
What moves to Exchange Online
Mailboxes & Archives
Primary, shared, room, and equipment mailboxes up to 100 GB each
Calendars & Contacts
Appointments, recurring events, contact groups, and delegates
Distribution Lists
Groups, dynamic distribution lists, and mail-enabled security groups
Mail Rules & Signatures
Server-side transport rules and per-user Outlook rules
Public Folders
Organization-wide public folder hierarchies and permissions
Tenant-to-Tenant Migration
Mergers, acquisitions, divestitures, and rebranding — we consolidate or split Microsoft 365 tenants without disrupting your team. Mailboxes, OneDrive, SharePoint, Teams, and Entra ID objects move to the target tenant with full data integrity.
Cross-tenant migrations require third-party tooling (BitTitan, Quest, or ShareGate) and careful identity planning. We handle tool procurement, domain cutover sequencing, and coexistence configuration so both organizations operate normally throughout the project.
Workloads we migrate between tenants
Typical M&A migration timeline
Discovery & Identity Mapping
Inventory both tenants, map users, plan domain cutover sequence
Coexistence Setup
Cross-tenant sharing, unified GAL, free/busy federation
Batch Migration
Move mailboxes, OneDrive, SharePoint in scheduled batches
Domain Cutover & Cleanup
Transfer domains, update UPNs, decommission source tenant
IMAP platforms we migrate from
If your server supports IMAP, we can migrate it. No exceptions.
IMAP Migration to Microsoft 365
We migrate email from any IMAP-compatible server to Exchange Online. cPanel, Plesk, Zimbra, Postfix, GoDaddy, Rackspace — if your server speaks IMAP, we move the mail.
IMAP migrations transfer email content only — calendars and contacts require separate handling through CSV export or third-party tools. We handle DNS changes (MX, SPF, DKIM, DMARC, Autodiscover) and verify mail flow before decommissioning the old server.
IMAP limitation
IMAP protocol transfers email only. Calendars, contacts, and tasks must be exported separately. We handle this as part of every IMAP project — no surprises.
Cloud-to-Cloud Migration
We migrate your organization from Google Workspace, AWS WorkMail, Zoho Mail, or any cloud platform to Microsoft 365. Email, files, calendars, contacts, and shared drives — everything transfers with full fidelity.
Cloud-to-cloud moves are our fastest migration type. No hardware dependencies, no firewall configurations, no VPN tunnels. We connect directly to your source cloud via API and stream data to Microsoft 365 at full speed. Most organizations are fully operational on M365 within two weeks.
- Google Docs → Word/Excel/PowerPoint (automatic conversion)
- Gmail labels → Outlook folders and categories
- Google Shared Drives → SharePoint document libraries
- Google Calendar → Exchange Online calendars
- Google Sites → SharePoint Modern sites
Cloud-to-cloud migration process
API Connection
We connect to your source cloud via admin API — no software to install
Pre-stage Data
Bulk data transfer runs in the background while your team works normally
Delta Sync
We capture all changes made since the pre-stage began
DNS Cutover
MX records point to Microsoft 365 — mail flows to new mailboxes immediately
Verification
SHA-256 hash verification on every item confirms complete data transfer
Security & compliance configuration
Entra ID (Azure AD)
Hybrid sync, SSO, Conditional Access, PIM
Multi-Factor Authentication
Microsoft Authenticator, FIDO2, phone sign-in
Intune Device Management
Autopilot, compliance policies, app deployment
Data Loss Prevention
DLP rules, sensitivity labels, retention policies
Microsoft Defender
Defender for Office 365, Safe Links, Safe Attachments
Compliance Center
eDiscovery, audit logging, HIPAA / SOC 2 / GDPR controls
Identity & Security Setup
We configure Entra ID, Conditional Access, MFA, Intune, and Data Loss Prevention as part of every migration. Your tenant is production-ready and compliant before the first user signs in.
Most failed migrations skip security. MFA is off. External sharing is unrestricted. DLP rules do not exist. We deploy every tenant with a security baseline that meets HIPAA, SOC 2, and GDPR requirements out of the box — then customize from there.
Cutover Migration
All mailboxes migrate at once in a single batch. We schedule the cutover for a weekend, move every mailbox to Exchange Online, update DNS records, and verify data integrity before Monday. Best for organizations with fewer than 150 mailboxes on Exchange Server 2010 or later.
Best for
Under 150 mailboxes

Exchange Server 2010–2019

Weekend cutover (2-4 hours)
Timeline
1-2 weeks end to end
Hybrid Migration
Run Exchange Server and Exchange Online side by side. Users migrate in batches while both systems share a unified address book, free/busy calendar data, and seamless mail flow. Zero downtime, zero disruption. The standard approach for large enterprises with 150+ mailboxes.

Staged Migration
We migrate users in planned batches over days or weeks. Each batch is verified before the next begins. This gives your IT team time to validate, train users, and resolve issues incrementally — without the pressure of a single-weekend cutover.
Best for
