Microsoft Office 365 Migrations

Office 365 v. Exchange Email

San Diego Computer Consulting is a Microsoft Cloud Partner.  We specialize in Office 365 solutions including SharePoint, Teams, Exchange, and Office Suite. Microsoft Exchange has become cloud-based and is now a service provided by Microsoft through their data centers.

Email today is more critical than ever!  Most all communication is done over email in today’s business environment.  Email is so critical that having it hosted on a smaller solution other than Microsoft could be catastrophic. The Exchange email servers made by Microsoft are made for large-scale data centers. Having this solution in a smaller scale leaves your mail more susceptible to potential outages. Though there are some reasons to have your email on a dedicate Exchange email server, the most typical email should be hosted on a robust solution. Microsoft provides the most robust and geographically diverse solution to protect its clients Email from any extended outage.

Exchange Migration to Office 365

San Diego Computer Consulting is an expert in Exchange Email to Office 365.  We can move IMAP, POP, Exchange, Gmail, and all types of email over to Office 365 cloud exchange services. We have total expertise in moving all your email for carefully planned migration.

SDCC has moved over 150 domains and their email boxes over to Office 365. We have moved organizations from one to 200+ email boxes over in carefully planned migrations. Our secret is in-person review and interaction to ensure that all components are reviewed in detail.

The true success or failure of an email conversion is making sure that all the details are discovered and covered. Groups, aliases, secondary domains, forwarding, correct spelling, listening, and so many other items have to be reviewed before a successful email conversion. San Diego Computer Consulting has a large checklist that we review with each of our customers to make sure that no details are left out. By being on site and planning in person, we can talk through the migration to make sure no details are missed.

Bit Titan-Pre Migration Technology

San Diego Computer uses Bit-Titan for all our email migrations. We use Bit-Titan to do all our pre-email box migrations in preparation of the Office 365 conversion.  Using Bit-Titan is one of the keys to our success.  We can pre-migrate email weeks before the conversion, so on the night of the conversion, we have most all the email, contacts, calendar, tasks, and other items staged and ready to go.

‘Hands-On’ Remote & Onsite Help

San Diego Computer Consulting knows how difficult and arduous an Office 365 migration is. The key to success after the Mail Exchange records are cut is the handling of Microsoft Outlook. We always have our staff ready to work remotely or onsite to make sure the email cut has been completed, and Microsoft Outlook is updated with the new Office 365 profile.

We do all our Office 365 cuts on Friday night at 10:00 p.m. and on Saturday morning we are working on all your staff’s computers to make sure that Microsoft Outlook is updated and ready to go for Monday morning.  We work with your staff’s smartphones and tablets too, making sure that email cut is done on all devices for all staff members.

Hybrid Exchange Server Migrations.

San Diego Computer Consulting specializes in Dedicated Exchange server conversions.   If you have a dedicated Exchange server in your office, we can help you migrate it to Microsoft Office 365. There are a number of migration paths. Some can be more difficult than others. Microsoft’s newest Hybrid Conversion utilities allow us to connect your existing Microsoft Exchange Server and completely synchronize it with a Microsoft Office 365 tenant. Once synchronized, as email arrives, it delivers to both the dedicated Exchange server and the Office 365 tenant virtual server.

With the Hybrid server migrations, you can take your time to synchronize all your email accounts deliberately and carefully to the Microsoft Office 365 tenant.  When the synchronization is complete, you can cut over the email delivery and Outlook at any time.  Using the hybrid migration, this gives you plenty of time to make the final cut when your company is ready to do it. The Microsoft Hybrid Server Migrations are a best and easiest path to moving your Dedicated Exchange solution to Office 365 email.

Active Directory Connector to Office 365

San Diego Computer Consulting can connect your local Microsoft Windows network active directory to Microsoft Azure. Using Microsoft AD connect to Azure allows us to connect your Windows network to Office 365 for your user and email accounts.  When password changes are made to your user accounts, the password change will also change the email user account in Office 365. This significant because as you move into the cloud, having a connector from your Windows network to the cloud is key to a smooth migration.

User accounts connected from your Windows network to Microsoft Office 365 through Active Directory ensures that your administration of user and email accounts is in the same place and easy to do. San Diego Computer Consulting is an expert in connecting your Office 365 implementation to your local network to ensure the smoothest transition as you migrate your email to the cloud.
