ESSENTIAL SOLUTIONS

Legacy Data & Service Migration

Move it, don’t lose it

Adopting new systems and platforms is a bit like moving house:  You have all the excitement of a new home, but the stress and inconvenience of packing and moving your belongings.

We like to describe Essential as a ‘removals company’ for your data and systems, with a reputation for tackling trickier jobs, such as:

  • Migrating large, sensitive, or proprietary data stores into Microsoft 365, so you can manage & find everything ‘under one roof’
  • Synchronising new, legacy and disconnected systems so everyone has the latest contact information
  • Switching legacy systems to new or preferable technologies that leverage SaaS & your Microsoft 365 infrastructure.

What our customers have to say

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
