Our types of migration

Office 365 Tenant to Tenant Migrations

There are numerous reasons why organisations opt to migrate from their current tenant to a new or different one:

  • Mergers & Acquisitions
  • Cost Savings
  • Security Considerations
  • And many more

Google Workspace (formerly G-Suite) to Office 365

Why would you want to switch to Office 365? Google Workspace emphasises simplicity and real-time, web-based collaboration. In contrast, Office 365 offers feature-rich desktop applications that integrate effortlessly with robust collaboration tools such as Microsoft Teams.

  • Improved productivity and performance
  • Seamless integration with the Microsoft ecosystem
  • Enhanced security & compliance

Exchange self-hosted to Exchange online

Why should you move from on premise Exchange to Exchange online?

  • Achieve true hybrid flexibility
  • Foster real-time collaboration
  • Achieve better regulatory compliance
  • Increase the security of your user mailboxes

How long does a tenant-to-tenant migration take?

Most migrations take 1 to 2 weeks. However, the ‘Cutover’ event where the domain moves usually happens over a single weekend to ensure zero business interruption.

Will my users lose their Teams chat history?

Not with Herons IT. We use advanced migration orchestrators that preserve 1:1 chats, group conversations, and channel tabs that native Microsoft tools often miss.

Can we keep our existing email addresses?

Yes. We manage the DNS ‘handshake’ between your old and new tenants to ensure your primary email addresses remain active and reachable throughout the process.
