Email and account data
Mailboxes, folders, calendars and contacts can be moved from the existing service where the source platform supports them.
A properly planned move
Your migration is built around the way your business works.
We identify what needs to move, prepare Microsoft 365, agree the timing and check the destination before services are switched. Your people know what's happening and the business keeps moving.
What can be migrated
The services and information your people need in Microsoft 365.
The exact scope is agreed before work begins, so everyone understands what's moving, what's staying and what the finished environment will include.
Files and collaboration data
Relevant business data can be moved into SharePoint or OneDrive when the volume, structure and intended way of working make it the right approach.
The Microsoft 365 environment
Users, licences, domains and the agreed security settings are prepared so the destination is ready before the final switch.
Moving from another provider?
We can plan migrations from Google Workspace, GoDaddy, Fasthosts, other hosted email services and another Microsoft 365 tenant.
The migration process
Every stage is agreed, managed and checked.
A defined process keeps the technical work, business decisions and communication moving together.
-
01Discover
Confirm the current provider, users, data, business requirements and anything that could affect the move.
-
02Plan and prepare
Agree the scope and timing, then prepare Microsoft 365, licences, accounts and security settings.
-
03Test and stage
Check access and transfer the agreed data in a controlled way before the final change takes place.
-
04Move and switch
Complete the remaining transfer and change services over at the agreed time.
-
05Verify and support
Check email, access and agreed data, then help your people settle into the new environment.
Confidence throughout the move
A controlled migration, with the important details made clear.
You know what's included, when changes will happen and how the result will be checked.
01
Defined scope
Users, services and data are documented before the migration begins.
02
Agreed timing
Switching is planned around the business and communicated in advance.
03
Data checks
The agreed information and services are checked before the work is signed off.
04
People supported
Users receive clear instructions and help when the new service becomes active.
File migrations in proportion
Business data is assessed before it is moved.
Moving files into SharePoint or OneDrive can create a better way to work, but only when the destination, structure and permissions are properly understood.
We normally undertake clearly defined migrations for smaller organisations. Larger or more complex data estates may need a separate discovery project before a safe scope can be confirmed.
01
What should move?Identify the information people still need and remove unnecessary data from the scope.
02
Where should it live?Choose a suitable SharePoint or OneDrive destination based on how the information is used.
03
Who should have access?Agree ownership and permissions before the data arrives in Microsoft 365.
Clear responsibilities
Everyone knows what's needed before the move begins.
We set out the technical work, business decisions, access requirements and checks in the migration plan.

Questions about moving
What businesses ask before a Microsoft 365 migration.
Clear answers about disruption, data, cost and what happens after the move.
What can baseMSP move into Microsoft 365?
We can migrate email and associated account data from supported services. We can also move agreed business files into SharePoint or OneDrive when the data has been assessed and the scope is suitable.
Will our people lose access while services are moved?
We plan the migration and final switch to keep interruption to normal work as low as possible. Any expected access changes are explained in advance so the business can prepare.
How do you check that our information has moved correctly?
We agree what should be present, check the destination and validate the relevant mailboxes, services and data before the migration is signed off.
Can you move our shared files into SharePoint?
Yes, where SharePoint is the right destination. We first review the volume, structure, ownership and permissions so the migration can be scoped properly.
How is the migration price calculated?
Pricing depends on the source service, number of users, volume and type of data, Microsoft 365 preparation and the complexity of the final switch. You receive a defined scope and price before work begins.
Can baseMSP support Microsoft 365 after the migration?
Yes. We can provide Microsoft 365 Support or wider Managed IT Support once the move is complete, with the ongoing service and responsibilities agreed separately.
