Microsoft 365 Enhances Efficiency for London Agency
Helping to digitally transform London businesses
Challenge: Upgrading Email System to Support Growth
A prominent insight agency in London faced challenges with its existing email system due to an expanding client base and increased staff numbers. The firm sought a cloud-based email solution to enhance reliability and minimise service disruptions. After evaluating options like Google Apps and Microsoft Exchange hosted services, the agency determined that Microsoft 365 offered the optimal features and simple integration with their current IT infrastructure. Ensuring the preservation of all email history and uninterrupted operations during the transition was crucial.
Solution: Strategic Microsoft 365 Migration
Cubit Technology collaborated with the agency and its parent company’s IT department to meticulously plan the migration. Key steps included:
- Password Synchronisation: Aligning network and Microsoft 365 passwords to provide users with a unified login experience.
- Two-Phase Email Migration: Conducting an initial transfer of substantial email history a week prior, followed by a final update on the migration day to ensure mailboxes were current.
- Weekend Implementation: Upgrading each PC and downloading mail history on a Saturday to prevent business disruption.
By Monday morning, the agency was fully operational on Microsoft 365. Cubit Technology provided an on-site support engineer to ensure smooth operations and assist employees with the transition.
Outcome: Improved Operational Efficiency
The successful migration to Microsoft 365 resulted in:
- Enhanced Reliability: A robust cloud-based email system reduced the risk of service interruptions.
- User-Friendly Access: Unified login credentials simplified user access and management.
- Preserved Email History: All previous emails were securely transferred and remained accessible.
