Microsoft 365 and Azure, set up properly the first time

A rushed cloud migration doesn’t just create a bad first week — it creates gaps in identity, data retention and compliance that surface months later, usually at the worst possible time. We plan the migration before we touch a single mailbox.

Where it’s used

Built for the environment, not a generic spec sheet

Microsoft 365 migration

Moving email, files and Teams from on-premise or another provider, without losing data or access along the way.

Azure infrastructure

Servers, storage and applications hosted in Azure UK South or UK West, keeping data within the UK for GDPR purposes.

Hybrid & phased migration

Moving in stages rather than all at once, for organisations that can’t risk a single big-bang cutover.

Questions we’re asked most

Answered plainly

Where is our data actually stored during a UK Microsoft 365 or Azure migration?

For UK-based organisations, we configure Azure resources in the UK South or UK West regions specifically to keep data within the UK for GDPR and data sovereignty purposes.

What’s the biggest risk in a Microsoft 365 migration?

Discovering compliance and data-ownership gaps mid-migration — awkward findings like shared mailbox access still including leavers, or documents mixed with superseded versions. We surface these during the assessment phase, before cutover, rather than after.

Do you set up security features like MFA and Conditional Access?

Yes — multi-factor authentication and Conditional Access policies are configured as standard on every Microsoft 365 and Azure environment we set up, not offered as a paid extra.
