Migration & Adoption
Cleanly migrated. And actually used afterwards.
We move email, files and Teams to Microsoft 365 with no data loss and no big-bang cutover. And with training, communication and internal champions we make sure your people use the new tools from day one. Technology alone changes nothing; adoption is what counts.
The challenge
A migration is only half the job
Many projects move data cleanly on the technical side, yet afterwards people hunt for their files, the helpdesk drowns in tickets and productivity dips. Tool vendors talk fidelity, consultants talk culture, but almost nobody honestly joins the two. And almost nobody tells you in advance what does not migrate cleanly.
How it helps
What changes in your day to day.
A planned cutover, not a risky leap
We migrate in communicated waves: a pilot department, then area by area, then the cutover over a weekend with hypercare on Monday. No big-bang, no nasty surprise on Monday morning.
Honest about what does not move 1:1
Teams private chats, version history, shared mailbox permissions, Power Automate flows and external sharing links all have limits. We name them up front and plan how to handle them, instead of leaving you to find out on day one.
Clean up rather than carry the mess
Before migration we clear out redundant, obsolete and trivial data and stale permissions. You land in a tidy tenant, not the same clutter in a new place.
People productive from day one
Communication, training and Viva learning content start before the move, not after. That avoids the classic post-migration productivity dip.
Self-sustaining usage through champions
We train internal champions and set up office hours so knowledge stays in-house. Your SME does not stay dependent on the partner forever.
What's included
What we deliver.
Tenant and data migration
Cross-tenant migration via the Microsoft Migration Orchestrator, including clarity on the one-time per-user migration license. We explain transparently what it costs and who needs it.
Exchange, OneDrive & SharePoint
Mailboxes, personal files and team libraries move with permissions and history intact, in the right order: Exchange Online, then OneDrive/SharePoint, then Teams.
Native or third-party tools, honestly chosen
SharePoint Migration Tool and Migration Manager are free, and for eligible customers Microsoft's FastTrack migration service can help. Where sensitivity labels, retention or complex permissions demand it, we use AvePoint Fly or ShareGate and tell you why.
Change management & communication
A clear communication plan across Teams, Viva and email creates orientation and reduces overload, instead of producing notification chaos.
Training & enablement in your language
Workshops, tutorials and Viva Learning content in German, tailored to the roles in your business. Not generic Microsoft slides.
Measuring adoption with Microsoft 365 usage reports
We define a baseline and track active users per workload (Teams, SharePoint, OneDrive) and the drop in helpdesk tickets, so you can see the investment pay off.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Does our data stay in Switzerland and is the migration revDSG-compliant?
We set up Microsoft 365 with data residency in Switzerland (data centres in Geneva and Zurich) and preserve retention and sensitivity settings throughout the migration. The whole project follows revDSG and GDPR, and the enablement materials are in German.
What does not migrate cleanly?
Teams private chats, version history, shared mailbox delegations, external sharing links and Power Automate flows have technical limits. We make these points transparent up front and plan how to handle them, rather than promising a perfect 1:1 copy.
We are only switching Microsoft partner. Do we still need to migrate?
No. A partner or CSP change moves neither your tenant nor your data; the tenant stays where it is. A true tenant-to-tenant migration is a separate, larger project, for example after a merger or carve-out.
What does cross-tenant migration cost on top?
Microsoft requires a one-time per-user migration license for cross-tenant migration, assignable on the source or target object; the same license also covers OneDrive. We show these costs transparently from the start.
