02

Exchange Online Configuration

Tenant configured with your domain and email routing. Security policies applied. Archiving and retention configured. Shared mailboxes and distribution groups created.

Real Results

Email migrations delivered for Lancashire businesses.

On-Premise Exchange Migration

A Preston law firm was running Exchange 2013 on an ageing server approaching end of support. They needed to migrate 50 mailboxes to the cloud without losing any email history.

Full migration to Exchange Online completed over a weekend. All 50 mailboxes migrated with complete email history. Server decommissioned. Annual infrastructure saving of 6,000 pounds.

Google Workspace to Microsoft 365

A Blackburn marketing agency wanted to consolidate onto Microsoft 365 from Google Workspace. They had 3 years of email history and complex shared calendar arrangements.

Full migration of email, calendars, and contacts from Google Workspace to Exchange Online. Zero data loss. All shared calendars recreated. Transition completed in 4 weeks.

Email Security Hardening

A Lancashire healthcare business was receiving high volumes of phishing emails. Their existing email platform had no advanced threat protection and staff were regularly clicking malicious links.

Exchange Online deployed with Defender for Office 365. Safe links and safe attachments enabled. DMARC configured. Phishing emails reaching staff reduced by 94 percent.
