Migration & Transformation

The deadline is real. The migration doesn't have to be painful.

Windows 10 support ending, Exchange ageing out, a merger that needs two tenants talking by Monday: migrations arrive with dates attached. We design, pilot and deploy them in governed phases, so the move lands on time and your users barely notice.

Delivery programmes

From legacy to cloud-native, without the drama

Intune & Windows 11 Implementation

Our flagship end-to-end transformation: from SCCM, MDT and Group Policy to a cloud-native, security-hardened Intune and Windows 11 estate. Security baselines enforced, Conditional Access designed, Autopilot provisioning, application packaging, Group Policy migration and a phased Windows 11 rollout, all in one structured programme.

What you get

Governed, security-hardened Intune environment assessed against CIS, NCSC and Microsoft security baselines
Conditional Access policy design
Zero-touch Autopilot provisioning across the estate
Full documentation and knowledge transfer

Engagement shape: Typically 6 months for full delivery, in structured phases with governance checkpoints.

A future-ready platform combining Intune, Autopilot, Entra ID and Windows 11. Delivered for an NHS urgent-care provider ahead of the Windows 10 end-of-support deadline, and for a London university (including SCCM decommissioning) inside a six-month window.

Windows Autopilot Design & Implementation

Replace imaging infrastructure entirely: new devices ship straight to users and configure themselves out of the box. Discovery of your current build process, a Low-Level Design, Autopilot profiles, Intune enrolment, packaging standards and a supported pilot rollout.

What you get

Low-Level Design document
Autopilot profiles and Intune enrolment configured
Supported pilot rollout
MDT/PXE imaging retired

Engagement shape: Design-and-pilot engagements from as little as 14 days; full transformations run to around 6 months.

Zero-touch enrolment with no IT hands on any device, and no imaging infrastructure to maintain. Designed and piloted within 14 days for a healthcare group's device-refresh programme; delivered as part of a full six-month modern-management transformation for a private bank.

Exchange Server Migration

A phased, zero-disruption migration off unsupported on-premises Exchange onto the latest Exchange Subscription Edition: schema preparation, Database Availability Group setup, phased mailbox migration, coexistence maintained throughout, and legacy servers decommissioned.

What you get

Migration design with clearly defined phases and joint responsibilities
DAG configuration for resilience
Phased mailbox and service migration with coexistence
Legacy decommissioning

Engagement shape: Phased delivery, planned around your third-party integrations and timeline.

A fully supported messaging platform with no mail-flow disruption, and a clean stepping stone to Microsoft 365 when you're ready. For a specialist IP law firm we delivered Exchange 2016 to 2019 to Subscription Edition with zero disruption to email service.

OneDrive Migration

A run-book-driven move from mapped drives and UNC paths to OneDrive for Business: group model alignment, Intune configuration, tested migration scripts, communications planning and post-migration clean-up. The step that completes the cloud-native user experience.

What you get

Entra ID group structures aligned and corrected
Migration scripts tested against real user experience
Structured run book with rollback options
Post-migration clean-up

Engagement shape: Pilot cohort first; the run book then lets remaining users migrate with minimal IT overhead.

A clean, auditable OneDrive rollout that closes the hybrid-storage gap driving support tickets and data risk. Delivered for a private bank with piloted scripts and a run book their own team executed.

Azure Cross-Tenant Access

Secure collaboration between two Microsoft tenants in days, not months: requirements discovery across both organisations, security policy review, and governed cross-tenant access for Teams, shared resources, applications and data. The low-risk first step ahead of a merger-driven tenant consolidation.

What you get

Cross-tenant requirements defined across both organisations
Security and compliance policies reviewed
Teams, file and application sharing configured and governed

Engagement shape: Around 3 days of discovery; implementation delivered in days.

Immediate, secure cross-tenant productivity while the full consolidation is planned: no guest-account workarounds. Delivered twice for a multi-academy trust as it merged with successive partner trusts: live within days of discovery the first time, and delivered on schedule when the trust merged again.

In practice

Complex moves, delivered to plan

Healthcare

An NHS urgent-care provider moved to Intune, Autopilot and Windows 11 ahead of the Windows 10 end-of-support deadline: phased, governed and completed on time.

11,000+

Professional services

Windows 10-to-11 migration support across 11,000+ endpoints in 100+ global locations, including a validated like-for-like Windows 11 image.

Financial services

A private bank's full modern-management transformation (Autopilot, co-management, GPO-to-CSP migration and an NCSC-aligned security framework) delivered as a fixed-scope programme in around six months.

Fair challenges

What clients ask before migrating

Will our users notice the migration?

Only in the ways they should: faster devices, fewer logon scripts, self-service provisioning. Every programme runs pilot-first with staged, approval-gated deployment and rollback, so problems surface in the pilot ring, not on the trading floor.

Our applications aren't packaged for Intune. Doesn't that block everything?

It's the most common blocker, which is why packaging is scoped alongside every implementation. Our packaging service turns source media into tested .intunewin packages on roughly a three-day average turnaround, so the app estate keeps pace with the rollout.

Six months sounds like a long time.

It's six months to retire SCCM, MDT and twenty years of Group Policy, with security baselines, Conditional Access and zero-touch provisioning at the end of it. Discrete pieces move much faster: Autopilot piloted in 14 days, cross-tenant access in days. The programme is phased, so value lands throughout, not at the end.

We're mid-merger. Do we wait for the full tenant migration?

No. That's exactly what cross-tenant access is for. Your teams get secure, governed collaboration in days, and the full consolidation happens later, properly planned, without pressure-driven shortcuts.

We're not ready for Microsoft 365. Are we stuck on old Exchange?

No. Exchange Subscription Edition gives you a fully supported on-premises platform, migrated in phases with coexistence throughout. It solves today's support problem and leaves every cloud option open.
