Cloud & Microsoft 365 Lincolnshire

Microsoft 365, SharePoint and Azure done properly — with security in from day one.

Overview

What we deliver

We've migrated dozens of Lincolnshire businesses off ageing on-premise servers and into Microsoft 365. The tenancy gets set up the right way the first time — sensible security baseline, conditional access, SharePoint structured so people can actually find things, and Teams configured for how your business works, not a generic template.

What's included

Built for Lincolnshire businesses

Microsoft 365 migrations

Mailboxes, files, calendars and contacts moved across cleanly, usually over a weekend, with zero data loss.

SharePoint & Teams setup

Structured around your real-world projects, departments and clients — not a sprawl of random channels.

Azure & hybrid cloud

Where it makes sense to keep some workloads in Azure or a hybrid setup, we'll design and run it for you.

Licensing review

Most businesses we look at are overpaying or on the wrong SKU mix. We'll audit your licences and right-size them.

Who it's for

The businesses we do this best for

Businesses still on an on-prem server

The 2014 tower in the cupboard is on borrowed time. We plan the move to Microsoft 365 and Azure so it's boring, not traumatic.

365 tenants that grew in a hurry

You went to 365 in a pandemic rush and now nothing is tidy — permissions, licences, SharePoint. We straighten it out.

Hybrid setups needing structure

Some data has to stay in the UK or on-prem. We design Azure, hybrid identity and secure remote access around it.

Signs you need this

If any of these sound familiar, get in touch.

  • Files are still on a local server people RDP into
  • Shared mailboxes and permissions are a mystery
  • Nobody's sure which licence tier you're actually on
  • OneDrive, SharePoint and Teams all hold different copies of the same file
  • MFA isn't enforced on every account
  • Staff email themselves attachments to work from home

How it works

A calm, documented process — no surprises.

  1. 1. Discovery & design

    Audit your current file structure, mail flow, licences and users. Design a clean tenant with security baseline in from day one.

  2. 2. Pilot migration

    Move a small pilot group first — usually leadership plus one department — to prove the cutover works cleanly.

  3. 3. Weekend cutover

    Mailboxes, OneDrive and file shares migrated over a weekend. Monday morning, everyone signs in and just gets on with it.

  4. 4. Aftercare

    Two weeks of tighter response, staff drop-in sessions, and a licence review 60 days in to right-size what you actually use.

Real-world example

From dying server to Microsoft 365

A Grantham engineering firm was running a 2012 file server with an ageing tape backup that hadn't been tested in two years. We moved 2.3TB of files to SharePoint over a long weekend, migrated 34 mailboxes with zero downtime, and enforced MFA and conditional access before go-live. Their tape drive died three weeks later — by then it didn't matter.

FAQ

Common questions

How long does a Microsoft 365 migration take?+

For most Lincolnshire SMEs (10–50 users) we plan and run it over 2–4 weeks, with the cutover on a weekend so Monday morning is business as usual.

Will we lose any email or files?+

No. We use proper migration tooling that mirrors everything across, then keeps the old environment available as a safety net until you're happy.

Can you sort our licences too?+

Yes — we're a Microsoft CSP, so we supply licences directly and review them with you each quarter.

What about our on-prem server after we migrate?+

Usually we shut it down cleanly, keep an image on ice for 90 days, and decommission properly. If any application genuinely has to stay on-prem, we design a hybrid setup.

Do you cover Azure and hybrid identity?+

Yes — Azure AD Connect, hybrid Exchange, Intune device management and Azure workloads are all in scope for our team.

Can staff work from home securely after?+

That's usually the whole point. Conditional access, Intune-managed devices and MFA mean staff can work from anywhere without opening holes in the network.
