ESSENTIAL SOLUTIONS

Legacy Data & Service Migration

Move it, don’t lose it

At Essential, we like to think of ourselves as the ‘removals company’ for your data and systems. We’ve built a reputation for handling the tough migration jobs—successfully moving your legacy data and systems where other solutions fall short.

We specialise in transitioning a wide range of legacy on-premises workloads into Azure and Microsoft 365, including:

Migrating large, sensitive, or proprietary data stores into Microsoft 365: Centralise your data management and enhance searchability by bringing everything under one roof.
Synchronising new, legacy, and disconnected systems: Ensure everyone has access to the most up-to-date contact information across your organisation.
Switch to Microsoft-basesd systems: Leverage your Microsoft 365 infrastructure to replace outdated systems with more efficient, scalable alternatives.

From a business perspective it is vital that we make the move as pain-free as possible for our staff and that no emails go missing. Additionally, by re-housing all our legacy and ongoing email records in one solution, the City & Guilds Group stands to benefit from significantly reduced support overheads and operational costs
