Cloud Migrations

Seamless migration from legacy systems to Microsoft 365, Azure AD and SharePoint Online, with zero downtime.

Cloud Migrations

Moving to the cloud should make your business faster and safer, not put it at risk. AEU-I plans and delivers zero-downtime cloud migrations to Microsoft 365, Azure Active Directory and SharePoint Online, so every mailbox, file, identity and workload arrives intact, secure and ready to use. Whether you are leaving on-premises Exchange, consolidating tenants after a merger, or moving ageing file servers, we handle the detail so your team keeps working right through the transition.

What we deliver

  • Microsoft 365 and Azure AD migration, from tenant design through cut-over and hand-over.
  • Zero-downtime mailbox migration using staged or hybrid methods, with mail flowing throughout.
  • SharePoint Online and OneDrive rollout, permissions mapping and file-share migration.
  • Hybrid and phased plans for larger estates that cannot move in a single weekend.
  • Security baseline: MFA, Conditional Access and Secure Score hardening applied as you move.
  • Post-migration optimisation, licence right-sizing and admin training.

Our migration process

Every engagement starts with a short, fixed-scope assessment so there are no surprises. We audit your current mailboxes, data volumes, identities and dependencies, then agree a plan with clear milestones and a rollback path.

  1. Discovery and design. We map users, groups, mailboxes, shared data and integrations, then design the target tenant and identity model.
  2. Prepare. DNS, domains, SPF, DKIM, DMARC, connectors and security policies are staged and tested before anything moves.
  3. Pilot. A small group migrates first to validate mail flow, sign-in and access, so the full rollout is predictable.
  4. Migrate. Data moves in controlled batches, verified as it lands, with mail flow maintained the whole time.
  5. Cut-over and optimise. We finalise DNS, decommission legacy systems safely, and tune licences, security and performance.

Why zero-downtime matters

A migration that takes email offline costs far more than the project itself. Our staged and hybrid approaches keep people sending mail, opening files and signing in throughout, so the move stays invisible to your customers. Because security is built into the migration, you come out more protected than you went in, with MFA enforced, legacy protocols disabled and a measurable lift in your Microsoft Secure Score.

Outcomes you can expect

  • All mail, files and users migrated with no data loss and no business interruption.
  • A clean, well-documented Microsoft 365 tenant your team actually understands.
  • Stronger identity security from day one, aligned to Microsoft security defaults and best practice.
  • Right-sized licensing and lower ongoing cost.
