Migrations

Migrations go wrong when nobody maps out what’s actually being moved before they start moving it. I plan and execute migrations with that mapping done up front, so permissions, data, and access carry over correctly instead of getting sorted out after the fact.

What this covers

File server to SharePoint/OneDrive Moving off local file servers with folder structure, permissions, and version history mapped over deliberately, not dumped into one flat library.

Tenant-to-tenant migrations Mergers, acquisitions, and rebrands that require moving mailboxes, files, and identities from one Microsoft 365 tenant to another with minimal disruption.

On-prem to Azure Moving servers and workloads off local hardware and into Azure, with a plan for what gets rebuilt versus lifted-and-shifted.

Cutover planning A documented plan for the actual switch, including rollback steps, so a migration weekend doesn’t turn into a migration month.

Example engagements

• Migrating a business off a local file server and onto SharePoint/OneDrive with permissions mapped over correctly
• Consolidating two Microsoft 365 tenants after an acquisition
• Moving on-prem file and print servers into Azure-hosted infrastructure
• Planning and executing a weekend cutover with a tested rollback plan

What this looks like in practice

Migrations start with an inventory: what exists today, what needs to move, and what can finally be retired. The move itself gets scheduled around your business, not the other way around, with a plan in hand before anything gets touched.
