Migration from Microsoft Exchange

Microsoft Exchange 2000

  • For small amounts of mailboxes we can facilitate the migration of mail from you current email clients to the new Office 365 mailbox.
  • For larger environments we can utilize the Cutover of Microsoft IMAP migration utility to migrate mail up to the cloud in the background so as not to interrupt the users productivity.

Microsoft Exchange 2003

  • Microsoft Office 365 Cutover and Staged migration techniques depending on data and mailbox quantities.

Microsoft Exchange 2010 and 2013

  • Allows migrations to occur over two types of methods, for smaller organisations a cutover migration works.
  • The best and most feature rich method for migration when running Microsoft Exchange 2010 and 2013 is the Hybrid Migration method. This allows a migration to occur in the background over time, it also migrates all mailbox data including contacts and tasks.
  • The Hybrid Exchange method allows for the easiest transition for mailbox migration where it uses the same data file to synchronise to Office 365. With this migration a user simply needs to restart Outlook after their mailbox is migrated and things will continue to work in much the same way as they were before.

Migration from Small Business Server

Migrating services from Small Business Servers to Office 365 has a degree of difficulty depending on what services you are leveraging on the SBS server. The more services that you use on the server such as mail, public folders, SharePoint, data shares then the more segmented and difficult the migration process becomes.
