Our 5 Step Process

Our simple 5 step process is clear and transparent from start to finish

Assessment and Workshop
1-2 Working Days We begin by conducting a comprehensive review of your existing files and data. This thorough evaluation is essential to gain a clear understanding of the complete scope and volume of data that needs to be migrated to Microsoft 365. This initial step sets the foundation for a successful migration.
Prepare Your Data and Organise
3-5 Weeks When focusing on the organisation of your data, take the time to meticulously arrange and categorise your files. Pay close attention to what access permissions are currently set and how this will transition. A well-organised structure is key to ensuring a seamless transition and efficient data management within Microsoft 365.
Start the Migration Process
1-2 Weeks It's time to set the wheels in motion. Begin the migration process by moving specific departments or designated sections while keeping other areas intact on your current system. This selective approach ensures a smoother transition for those initial sections, allowing you to learn from and refine the process as you go.
Verify and Test
1-2 Weeks Once the migration is completed, start on a thorough verification process. Confirm that all your files and data have been successfully and accurately transferred to Microsoft 365. Rigorously test accessibility and functionality to guarantee that everything functions as expected.
Training at Different Levels
2-3 Working Days To maximise the benefits of Microsoft 365, consider implementing training at various organisational levels. This includes providing end users and IT admins with the knowledge and skills required to manage the environment. Additionally, explore the 'Train the Trainer' approach, empowering a designated in-house expert to guide both end users and IT administrators.

Understanding the Migration Process:

Migrating from Lotus Notes to Office 365 involves several key steps:

Assessment: Our experts evaluate your current Lotus Notes environment, including user mailboxes, archive mailboxes, and NSF (Notes Storage Facility) files. This assessment helps us create a customised migration plan tailored to your specific needs.

User Mailbox Migration: The core of the migration process is moving user mailboxes from the Domino server in Lotus Notes to Office 365 accounts. Our migration tool efficiently handles this transfer, ensuring that no emails or crucial data are left behind.

Archiving Data: We understand the importance of preserving your historical data. Our process includes archiving Lotus Notes data to Office 365, ensuring that your organisation’s valuable information remains accessible.

CSV File Integration: To streamline the migration, we use CSV files to map user mailboxes and associated data accurately. This approach ensures a smooth transition, reducing the chances of data loss or confusion.

Testing and Validation: Before finalising the migration, thorough testing and validation are conducted to ensure that all migrated Notes mailboxes are fully functional in Office 365.

User Training: Transitioning to Office 365 often involves adapting to a new email client. We provide comprehensive user training to help your team make the most of the new platform.
