The problem

Most migrations go wrong because the scoping goes wrong

A Microsoft 365 migration isn't just a technical task — it's a business risk. Organisations that treat it as a simple data move end up with mail flow disruptions, missing data, broken shared mailboxes, confused users, and a project that drags on months past its deadline. We've seen every way a migration can fail. We built our process around preventing all of them.

Inspizer has been delivering Microsoft 365 migrations since 2013. Our principal consultant spent time inside Microsoft's own EMEA escalation team for Exchange Online — the team that handles migrations when things have gone seriously wrong for large organisations. We use that experience to make sure your project never gets to that point.

Migration types

Every migration path. One specialist.

Every engagement is scoped to your exact environment. We do not use a one-size template — we scope each migration individually.

Exchange On-Premises → M365

The most common migration path. We handle hybrid deployments, coexistence, mail flow, public folder migration, and decommissioning across Exchange 2010, 2013, 2016, and 2019.

Google Workspace → Microsoft 365

Gmail to Exchange Online, Google Drive to SharePoint/OneDrive, Google Calendar to Outlook — with user adoption support to help your people land on their feet.

Tenant-to-Tenant Migration

Mergers, acquisitions, rebrands. We use AvePoint Fly SaaS (ACTP certified) to deliver full-fidelity migrations across Exchange, SharePoint, Teams, OneDrive, and Power Platform.

IMAP / Hosted Email → M365

Moving from legacy hosted email or IMAP to Exchange Online. Mail flow remains uninterrupted and historical email arrives complete and properly structured.

File Server → SharePoint & OneDrive

On-premises file shares migrated to SharePoint Online and OneDrive with folder structures, permissions, and metadata preserved. We audit your existing structure first — so you don't replicate legacy chaos in the cloud.

Public Folder Migration

Often the most overlooked and most problematic part of an Exchange migration. We've migrated public folder trees of every size, including a large Parliamentary estate to Exchange Online with zero downtime.

How it works

How we run a migration — and why the process matters

Every Inspizer migration follows a structured, tested methodology. No cutting corners, no surprises, no "we'll figure it out on cutover night."

1

Discovery & scoping

A detailed discovery session to understand your environment — what you have, what needs to move, dependencies, and timeline. This produces a fixed-price scope of work. No open-ended day-rate engagements.

2

Tenant design & pre-migration config

Before a single mailbox moves, we make sure your Microsoft 365 tenant is configured correctly. Licensing, security defaults, authentication policies, Exchange Online settings, and domain configuration — all right before migration begins.

3

Pilot migration

We migrate a representative sample of users or data first — testing the process end-to-end before touching the full population. This catches environment-specific issues early, when they're easy to resolve.

4

Staged migration

We migrate users or data in planned batches at a pace that suits your organisation. For larger migrations, we use AvePoint Fly SaaS to run migrations in parallel, maximise throughput, and maintain full audit trails throughout.

5

Cutover & DNS

Mail flow cutover is the most visible moment of any migration. We plan it meticulously — MX record changes, coexistence, client reconfiguration — and are on hand throughout to respond to any issues in real time.

6

Post-migration validation & handover

We don't consider a migration complete until we've verified it. Post-migration health checks, data integrity confirmation, remaining issues resolved, and full documentation of the environment as migrated.

FAQs

Frequently asked questions about Microsoft 365 migration

How long does a Microsoft 365 migration take?

It depends on the size of your organisation, the platform you're migrating from, and the complexity of your data. A small organisation (under 50 users) migrating from a hosted email provider can be completed in two to three weeks. A mid-sized organisation moving from Exchange on-premises typically takes four to eight weeks. Large or complex migrations — including tenant-to-tenant moves or those involving SharePoint and file server content — can take two to four months. We provide a realistic timeline during scoping, not an optimistic estimate designed to win the project.

Will there be any downtime during the migration?

For the vast majority of migrations, there is no downtime for end users. We use a staged approach where users continue working on their existing platform while their data is being migrated in the background. The final cutover — when mail flow switches to Microsoft 365 — is typically scheduled for a low-activity window and takes minutes, not hours. During that window, mail is queued and delivered once the DNS change propagates, not lost.

What happens to our emails, calendars, and contacts?

Everything migrates. We migrate mailbox content (email, calendar, contacts, tasks, notes), shared mailboxes, distribution lists, and — critically — public folders, which many consultancies treat as an afterthought. We run post-migration validation to confirm data integrity before signing off.

We're on Google Workspace. Can you migrate us to Microsoft 365?

Yes. We handle the full Google Workspace to Microsoft 365 migration — Gmail to Exchange Online, Google Drive to SharePoint and OneDrive, Google Calendar to Outlook, and contacts across. We also assist with the change management side, because switching from Google to Microsoft is a bigger adjustment for users than most IT teams anticipate.

Do you provide a fixed price or work on a day rate?

We provide a fixed price based on a detailed discovery and scoping process. We don't believe in open-ended day-rate engagements for migration projects — they misalign incentives and leave clients with unpredictable costs. Our fixed-price model means you know exactly what you're paying before we begin.
