Microsoft 365 migration

On Google Workspace? Come on over, the water's fine.

We move Brisbane businesses from Google Workspace (or ageing on-prem email, or that hosting company that never answers) onto Microsoft 365. Planned properly, cut over on a weekend, supported after.

Why switch

Why businesses paddle over to Microsoft 365

One ecosystem, not a duct-taped stack

Email, files, Teams, security and device management under one roof. Fewer logins, fewer invoices, fewer things that mysteriously stop talking to each other.

The tools your team already knows

Word, Excel, Outlook and Teams are the default language of Australian business. Stop translating Google Docs formatting for every client who sends you a .docx.

Security that grows with you

From basic email up to Business Premium with Intune and conditional access. When you need more protection, it is one licence change, not a re-platform.

Better value at business scale

At 20-200 staff, Microsoft 365 tiers typically deliver more app, storage and security per dollar, and we right-size every user rather than licensing everyone at the top tier.

The process

How a migration flows

  1. 1

    Scope the waters

    We audit what you have (mailboxes, drives, calendars, shared files, the mystery account nobody remembers creating) and give you a fixed custom quote. No surprises mid-swim.

  2. 2

    Build the new holt

    We set up your Microsoft 365 tenancy properly: security baselines, backup, anti-phishing. The Otterly Minimum Standard is in place before a single mailbox moves.

  3. 3

    The big swim

    Mail, files and calendars migrate, typically over a weekend, timed so your team logs off Friday on the old system and in Monday on the new one.

  4. 4

    Settle in

    We stay close after cutover: on-site or on-call for launch week, training for the team, and every stray "where did my folder go?" chased down.

What does a migration cost?

Honest answer: it depends on how many mailboxes, how much data and how tangled the current setup is, so we don't publish a made-up number. Migrations are quoted per case as a fixed one-time project, and there's no onboarding fee on top. Tell us what you're running and we'll come back with a real figure.

Migration quick answers

How long does a Google Workspace to Microsoft 365 migration take?

The cutover itself typically runs over a single weekend: your team logs off Friday on Google Workspace and logs in Monday on Microsoft 365. Scoping and tenancy preparation happen in the weeks before, and we stay on-site or on-call through launch week to chase down stragglers.

How much does a migration to Microsoft 365 cost?

Migrations are quoted per case as a fixed one-time project, because the cost depends on how many mailboxes, how much data and how tangled the current setup is. There is no onboarding fee on top. Tell us what you are running and we will return a real figure.

Will we lose emails or files during the migration?

No. Mail, files and calendars are migrated and verified before cutover, and the Otterly Minimum Standard, including independent backup of your Microsoft 365 data, is switched on before a single mailbox moves. If anything looks out of place after the swim, we chase it down during launch week.
