Move to Microsoft 365. Zero data loss. Zero drama.
Whether you are leaving Google Workspace, decommissioning an on-premise Exchange server, or consolidating multiple email platforms, IP Four migrates your business to Microsoft 365 with full data fidelity and minimal disruption.
Every migration scenario, handled with precision.
From single-platform email migrations to complex multi-site consolidations, we have the tools and experience to move your business to Microsoft 365 without losing a single email or file.
Email Migration
Full mailbox migration from any source platform to Exchange Online. Emails, folders, calendars, contacts, and tasks all migrated with full fidelity. Cutover, staged, and hybrid migration options available.
File and Document Migration
On-premise file servers, NAS devices, and Google Drive content migrated to SharePoint Online and OneDrive. Folder structures preserved. Permissions mapped and applied correctly.
Google Workspace to Microsoft 365
Complete migration from Google Workspace to Microsoft 365. Gmail to Exchange Online, Google Drive to SharePoint and OneDrive, Google Calendar to Outlook Calendar. Users transitioned with minimal disruption.
On-Premise Exchange Migration
Migrate from on-premise Exchange 2010, 2013, 2016, or 2019 to Exchange Online. Hybrid configuration available for phased migrations. Public folders, shared mailboxes, and distribution groups all handled.
Security and Compliance Setup
Microsoft 365 security baseline applied during migration. MFA enforced, conditional access configured, Defender for Office 365 enabled. SPF, DKIM, and DMARC records updated. Data loss prevention policies applied.
User Onboarding and Training
Staff guided through the transition with role-based training. Outlook, Teams, and OneDrive explained in plain language. IT champions identified and upskilled. Adoption tracked post-migration.
A migration process built around zero surprises.
Every migration follows a proven four-stage process. Discovery first, destination prepared second, data pre-synced third, cutover last. No shortcuts. No data left behind.
Migration Discovery and Planning
We audit your current environment: mailbox sizes, folder structures, file volumes, permissions, and any legacy dependencies. A detailed migration plan is produced with timelines, risks, and rollback procedures.
Microsoft 365 Tenant Preparation
Your Microsoft 365 tenant is configured before any data moves. Licences assigned, security baseline applied, MFA enforced, DNS records prepared, and Defender for Office 365 enabled. The destination is ready before migration begins.
Pre-Migration Sync and Testing
Data is pre-synced to Microsoft 365 in the background while your existing systems remain live. A test migration is run with a pilot group to validate fidelity and identify any issues before the full cutover.
Cutover and Post-Migration Support
Cutover is scheduled to minimise business disruption, typically outside business hours. DNS records updated, old systems decommissioned, and users supported through the transition. Post-migration monitoring for 30 days included.
Microsoft 365 migrations delivered across Lancashire.
Google Workspace Exit
A 45-person professional services firm in Preston had outgrown Google Workspace. They needed Microsoft 365 for compliance reasons and wanted to consolidate onto a single platform with proper device management.
Full migration from Google Workspace to Microsoft 365 Business Premium completed over a weekend. All Gmail, Drive, and Calendar data migrated. Intune enrolled on all devices. Zero data loss. Staff back to full productivity by Monday morning.
Legacy Exchange Server Decommission
A Blackburn manufacturer was running Exchange 2013 on ageing hardware. The server was approaching end of support and the business had no budget for new on-premise infrastructure.
Hybrid Exchange configuration deployed. Mailboxes migrated to Exchange Online in batches over three weeks. On-premise server decommissioned on schedule. Annual infrastructure saving of over 8,000 pounds.
Multi-Site Email Consolidation
A Lancashire healthcare group had acquired three smaller practices, each running different email systems. Staff were using a mix of hosted Exchange, Gmail, and a legacy IMAP provider.
All three platforms migrated to a single Microsoft 365 tenant. Unified email domain, shared calendar visibility, and Teams deployed across all sites. Completed in six weeks with no disruption to patient-facing services.
