Your Move to Microsoft 365, Supported From Day One
A move to Microsoft 365 only goes well if someone is still there the week after. Ceifa delivers Vancouver moves off Google Workspace, old file servers or another tenant together with Regroove, our sister consultancy, then keeps running the new environment as your managed IT provider. Your staff call the same helpdesk before, during and after.
Moved in, then looked after
The move takes a few weeks. Living in the new tenant takes years. We plan the first part with the second part in mind.
Common starting points
Google Workspace, on-premises file servers, a separate email host or an older Microsoft 365 tenant. The move is planned around what you actually run.
Nothing quietly left behind
Mail history, folders and files come across and are checked after they land, instead of being assumed to have worked.
Baseline before the first mailbox
The new tenant gets the same security baseline as every managed client, so old gaps are not carried into a new system.
Mail keeps arriving
MX, SPF, DKIM and DMARC changes happen in a set window, so messages are not bounced or flagged as spam during the switch.
Staff know what is coming
People hear what changes and when. On the first morning they can call a helpdesk that already knows the new setup.
Burnaby team on hand
Our on-site team in Burnaby can be in your Vancouver office on switch-over day and for the first round of questions afterward.
From first look to steady support
Look at what you have
We list every mailbox, shared drive and system in scope, noting sizes, permissions and any odd cases that need extra care.
Agree a plan and a window
The switch-over date is set around your business, with a written way to roll back before anything moves.
Prepare the new tenant
Licences, the security baseline, groups and sharing settings are in place before data starts to copy.
Copy, then switch
Most data copies in the background. DNS then changes in a short planned window and mail delivery is tested straight away.
Into managed support
Our helpdesk takes the first questions, cleans up anything that surfaces in the first weeks, and your tenant joins the monthly report.
