How quickly can you migrate us to Microsoft 365?
Timelines vary by scope, data volume and approach, but here’s a practical guide:
- 25–100 users: typically 3–7 business days from cut‑over, plus 3–5 days for assessment, pilot and scheduling. After‑hours cut‑overs available to minimise disruption.
- 100–500 users: typically 2–4 weeks using staged or hybrid migration in 2–3 waves. Includes mailbox moves, SharePoint/OneDrive content migration and light change management.
- 500+ users: typically 4–12 weeks with phased rollouts, pilot groups, detailed change management and training. Often a hybrid approach with parallel run and governance updates.
What can extend timelines: large mailbox sizes and file data (TBs), coexistence or tenant‑to‑tenant scenarios, identity and device readiness (Microsoft Entra ID/Intune), security/compliance requirements (Conditional Access, DLP, retention), third‑party integrations and Microsoft service throttling. We confirm a detailed plan and wave schedule after a free assessment.
How do you keep our tenant secure?
We apply a baseline of MFA, Conditional Access, Intune device compliance, Defender for Business, DLP and encryption, then review quarterly against Microsoft Secure Score targets. You receive regular security posture and incident response reporting.
How do you minimise downtime during migration?
We run a pilot, schedule after‑hours cut‑overs, throttle mailbox moves, and migrate file data in waves. Users get clear comms and short training. Rollback plans and mailbox/SharePoint integrity checks ensure continuity.

FAQ's
We run a Copilot readiness assessment: fix oversharing in SharePoint/Teams/OneDrive, implement sensitivity labels and retention, enforce Conditional Access, and boost Secure Score. We add Microsoft Purview DLP/Information Protection where needed, then pilot with a defined cohort and phased rollout. Goal: unlock Copilot value without exposing sensitive data. Typical pilot: 2–4 weeks; broader rollout by department thereafter.
