How We Work

A six-stage process built around confident adoption.

01

Training Needs Assessment

We assess your team structure, current IT literacy levels, and how different roles will use Microsoft 365. Training plan produced before migration begins so it is ready to deliver on go-live day.

02

IT Champion Identification

Key users identified in each department to act as IT champions. Champions receive advanced training before go-live. They are the first point of contact for their colleagues during the transition.

03

Pre-Migration Awareness

Staff briefed on what is changing, when it is changing, and what they need to do. Expectations set clearly. Common concerns addressed. Staff arrive at go-live day informed and prepared.

04

Go-Live Day Support

IP Four team available on go-live day to support users as they log in for the first time. Outlook configured, Teams set up, and OneDrive sync confirmed for every user. No one left behind.

05

Role-Based Training Sessions

Training sessions delivered by team or department in the week following go-live. Sessions kept short and practical. Focus on the features each team will use every day. Questions answered in real time.

06

30-Day Adoption Review

Usage data reviewed at 30 days. Departments with low adoption identified. Additional training or one-to-one support provided where needed. Adoption report produced for management.

Real Results

Microsoft 365 adoption programmes delivered across the UK.

Google Workspace to Microsoft 365 Transition

A 45-person professional services firm in Preston was moving from Google Workspace to Microsoft 365. Staff were comfortable with Gmail and Google Drive and were anxious about learning a new platform.

IT champions identified and trained before go-live. All staff received a 90-minute Outlook and Teams session in the week following migration. Adoption tracked at 30 days. 94% of staff rated themselves confident using Microsoft 365 within two weeks.

Remote Workforce Onboarding

A Yorkshire care provider had 80 staff spread across 12 sites. They were migrating to Microsoft 365 and needed to train staff who had never used Teams or OneDrive, many of whom were not confident with technology.

Training delivered remotely via Teams with small groups of six to eight per session. Plain-language guides produced for each role. IT champions at each site provided ongoing peer support. Helpdesk calls reduced by 65% compared to previous platform rollouts.

Executive and Leadership Onboarding

A Manchester law firm was migrating to Microsoft 365. The senior partners were heavy Outlook users with complex calendar setups and needed one-to-one onboarding to ensure no disruption to their schedules.

One-to-one onboarding sessions delivered for all six partners. Calendars migrated and verified. Outlook configured exactly as required. Mobile email set up on personal devices. All partners fully operational on Microsoft 365 within 24 hours of go-live.
