What our customers have to say about us
What our customers have to say
“Although shortcuts would still work across the network after migrating to Microsoft 365, the prospect of maintaining a dedicated email archive on-prem was a non-starter. Essential worked out the best strategy for migrating our archived emails into Exchange Online.”
Stephen Appleby, at An Post
What our customers have to say
“We did our research into migration methods, including manual extraction, which was deemed totally impractical. We had no issues and no surprises and achieved our objective to complete our migration earlier than scheduled.”

“The migration approach certainly worked for us so we do not hesitate in recommending this approach to other organisations. We had no issues and no surprises and achieved our objective to migrate all archived email from EAS to the Exchange 2010 Online archive mailboxes. Essential delivered what was promised at the outset.”
