Office 365 Migration

Microsoft Email Migration

Move from Gmail/Google Workspace, POP3, IMAP and any other Email Service to Microsoft Office 365 Services.

Most growing companies will eventually see the need to move their email services to a professional business platform for reliable email delivery, secure email accounts and synced file environment for all users. The most widely used platform is Office 365 which is also now known as Microsoft 365 Cloud. Moving to the full Microsoft 365 platform allows for seamless integration from the Windows login security right through to your files and email services. You can also now avoid paying for additional servers and maintenance costs that you no longer need.

How long does it take to migrate email to Office 365? Typically it takes about 1 to 2 hours per mailbox depending the size and if the mailbox contains nested folders or unusually names folder structures that need manual intervention.

How long does it take to migrate data to Microsoft 365 OneDrive/Sharepoint? This depends on how many files you have and the size of them. OneDrive also has a soft limit of 100’000 files which gives you nice quick sync speeds but you can push it to 300’000 files at which point things slow down and become problematic. There is also a maximum upload limit per day when performing the first sync. The internet speed also plays a major factor. But typically it takes 1 to 3 days.

Can I migrate to Office 365 myself? It can be tricky but if its an account or two you might be able to do it yourself. However it is easy to get into a mess which means your emails can go missing or you might discover later on that a fair percentage of your emails went missing after the migration. We do this often and this means we know all the shortfalls that most other IT companies or individuals encounter in this process.

What is the difference between Microsoft 365 and Office 365? Office 365 is technically your cloud office system like Microsoft Office, OneDrive, SharePoint, Teams and OneNote. However Microsoft 365 is the bigger picture which includes Office 365, Windows OS and all the other 365 Family Products.
