Moving to Microsoft 365 should not cost you a week of lost email. A local team plans the move, copies your data, tests it and stays on hand when your staff log in the first morning.
Get a Free IT AssessmentAn Office 365 migration moves your email, calendars, contacts and files into Microsoft’s cloud. Most Atlanta offices start from one of three places: an old Exchange server in a closet, a hosted email service they have outgrown, or a mix of personal accounts and shared drives. Each starting point needs a different plan. The goal is simple. Your staff sit down on Monday and everything is where they left it.
The work begins before any data moves. Someone has to list every mailbox, shared mailbox, distribution list, printer, scanner and app that sends email. Skip that list and something breaks on day two, usually the scanner that emails invoices or the alert system nobody remembered. A good migration finds those items first, so there are no surprises after the switch.
Then the move itself happens in stages. Data is copied while you keep working. A short cutover redirects new email to Microsoft 365, usually overnight or over a weekend. Each user’s phone and laptop is reconnected and checked. You get a clear schedule, a named technician and a plain list of what changes for your team and what stays exactly the same.
Many offices across Atlanta still run email from a server that is five, eight or ten years old. When it fails, the whole office stops. Replacing it costs real money, and the new hardware starts aging on day one. Microsoft 365 removes that cycle. Microsoft runs the servers. You pay per user, add or remove people as you grow, and your staff get the same tools whether they sit in Midtown, in Alpharetta or at home.
Remote work is the other reason. Staff who commute from Marietta or Peachtree City, or work a few days from home, need the same files and calendar everywhere. Microsoft 365 gives them Teams, shared documents and email that work on any device. A migration done well also sets up security from the start, with multi-factor sign-in and sensible sharing rules, so the move makes your office safer, not just newer.
Everything below is part of one monthly plan. Pick a topic to see what is handled for you and how it works in a Atlanta office.
We list every mailbox, shared mailbox, group, domain, device and app that touches your email today. We check your licenses, your internet speed and how much data you really have. This is where most migration problems get caught, long before any data moves.
You get a written plan with a schedule, a quote and a short list of decisions only you can make, such as which old mailboxes to archive. Nothing starts until you have read and approved it. Staff get a simple notice explaining what will change and when.
Email is the part your staff notice first, so it gets the most care. Mailboxes are copied in the background while you keep working. Folders, rules, contacts, shared calendars and large attachments come along. Old archives are brought in or stored safely.
At cutover, your mail records are switched so new messages land in Microsoft 365. We watch delivery closely for the first hours. Phones and Outlook are reconnected one by one, and each user confirms they can send and receive before we call it done.
Most offices have a shared drive full of years of folders. We clean up what is clearly dead, then move the rest into SharePoint and OneDrive with permissions that match how your team works. Finance sees finance files. Everyone sees the company handbook.
Staff learn where things now live through a short walkthrough, not a long manual. Sync is set up so files still open quickly on a laptop, and large folders are moved in stages so your internet connection is never overloaded during the workday.
A fresh Microsoft 365 tenant is a good moment to set it up right. We turn on multi-factor sign-in, block old insecure login methods and set rules for external sharing. Admin accounts are separated from daily accounts so one stolen password cannot reach everything.
We also set up spam and phishing filtering and check that your domain records help prevent spoofing. These steps take little time during a migration and are much harder to add later, once staff are used to loose settings and are unhappy about changes.
The first week is when questions come up. Where did that folder go? Why is Outlook asking for a password? A technician is reachable for your team during those days, by phone or in person if you need it, so small issues do not pile up.
Once things settle, we hand over a short document listing your settings, licenses and who to call. Many clients then stay on for ongoing help with Microsoft 365, including new hires, license changes and updates. That part is optional and priced separately.
Lots of companies can fix a computer. These are the reasons Atlanta businesses give for choosing Stack Atlanta and sticking with us.
Our team knows which Midtown towers need paperwork before anyone enters the riser room, how summer storms affect power across the metro and how long it really takes to get from Downtown to Alpharetta at 5 p.m. That local knowledge turns into faster, calmer fixes.
Your network, devices and backups are watched day and night. Most problems are handled before anyone notices, and you get a plain explanation when something needs your decision.
A free assessment ends with a per-user quote listing every included service. No hourly surprises, no unexpected after-hours charges and no fine print about what counts as extra.
Where your office sits affects how the move is scheduled and supported. Each area has its own building rules, internet options and busy periods.
Downtown offices sit in older towers with shared risers and strict building access. Managed IT here means coordinating with property management, keeping remote access reliable for MARTA commuters and scheduling heavier work after hours.
Law firms, agencies and tech teams in Midtown run on fast Wi-Fi, video calls and secure file sharing. They need dependable networks in busy high-rises and tight access control for client data.
Wealth managers, insurance agencies and professional offices in Buckhead hold sensitive financial data. Managed IT keeps that data protected, backed up and documented for audits and insurers.
Creative studios and startups in converted buildings along the BeltLine grow quickly and work from anywhere. Managed IT keeps onboarding simple and separates guest Wi-Fi from the business network.
Design firms, showrooms and production companies in West Midtown move large files every day. They need strong networks, solid backups and workstations that keep up with demanding software.
Corporate offices and medical groups around the Perimeter often connect several locations. Managed IT monitors those links and gives every site the same help desk.
Fast-growing tech and fintech companies in Alpharetta add people every month. Managed IT makes every new hire’s laptop, accounts and access ready before the first day.
Clinics, nonprofits and small professional offices in Decatur need dependable systems without a big IT budget. A managed plan covers updates, backups and security for one monthly fee.
Regional offices near the Galleria and The Battery often support staff across the northwest suburbs. Managed IT keeps those offices connected and supported without long waits for a visit.
You can move to Microsoft 365 in a few ways. The right choice depends on your size, your tolerance for risk and how much time your team has.
| Topic | Stack Atlanta | Do It Yourself | Microsoft Tools Only |
|---|---|---|---|
| Planning | Full inventory & written plan | Whatever you remember to list | Basic checklist, no local review |
| Risk of lost email | Low, copies verified per user | Higher, easy to miss items | Moderate, depends on setup |
| Cutover timing | Scheduled around your calendar | Often during work hours | Self-scheduled, limited help |
| Staff downtime | Minimal, usually overnight | Often half a day or more | Varies, often a few hours |
| Phones & devices | Each one reconnected & tested | Staff fix their own | Staff fix their own |
| Security setup | Multi-factor & filtering included | Often skipped | Defaults only |
| Support afterward | Named technician, local | Nobody to call | Online articles & forums |
A finished migration means your team works as before, with fewer outages and tools that fit how they actually work.
Every mailbox, folder and calendar arrives complete, with old messages searchable on day one.
Documents live in OneDrive & SharePoint, so staff can open them from the office, home or a job site.
Multi-factor login and clear sharing rules protect your accounts from the start.
You pay one monthly price per user instead of buying and replacing servers.
A migration often leads to other projects. These pages cover the ones Atlanta offices ask about most.
Ongoing help with accounts, licenses, Teams and Outlook once you are live.
SharePoint ServicesShared sites and file structures your team can actually find things in.
Email MigrationMoving mail from another system when Microsoft 365 is not the target.
Cloud MigrationMoving servers and apps to the cloud alongside your email.
With our old provider, a broken laptop meant a ticket and a long wait. Now somebody picks up right away and most problems are gone before the call ends. The constant IT complaints in our office simply stopped.
We were worried about changing providers during our busiest season. The handover took about three weeks, email and files never stopped working and we received full documentation at the end.
Every repair used to come with its own invoice. Now it is one monthly amount, a short report and a conversation about upgrades before anything breaks. Budgeting for IT finally makes sense.
After a free assessment, you get a written quote for your migration with a fixed scope, schedule and price, so you know the cost before work begins.
A small office of 10 to 25 users usually finishes in one to three weeks from approval to cutover. Most of that time is planning and background copying. The actual switch is often a single evening or weekend. Larger offices or those with big archives need more time.
Not if it is done correctly. Data is copied, not moved, so your original mailboxes stay intact until the new ones are checked. We verify each user’s mailbox before cutover and keep the old system available for a short safety period afterward.
Normally no. Copying happens in the background while you work. The cutover that redirects email is brief and is usually scheduled for an evening or weekend. Staff may be asked to restart Outlook or re-enter a password the next morning.
Yes, and it is one of the most common projects. Older servers can be moved in stages or in one cutover, depending on size and version. We check the server’s health first, because failing hardware changes the plan and the timing.
Usually not. Most computers made in the last several years run Microsoft 365 fine. We check Office versions and Windows updates during planning. If a machine is too old, you will know before the migration, not after it.
Most small offices pay a per-user or fixed project fee, plus the monthly Microsoft license. Cost depends on user count, data size and how messy the current setup is. A free assessment gives you a written quote with no surprises.
It depends on what your staff do. Many offices do well with a Business Standard plan, while others need stronger security features or desktop apps only. We match licenses to roles so you do not overpay for people who need less.
Each device is reconnected to the new account and tested. We handle iPhones, Android phones and tablets. If you use mobile device management, those policies are updated at the same time, so company data stays protected.
Yes. File migration can happen at the same time as email or as a separate phase. We review folders first, set permissions that fit your teams and train staff on where things live. Large drives are moved in stages.
A technician is reachable during the first days to fix issues fast. Because the old system stays available briefly, we can recover a missing item if one turns up. A rollback plan is written before cutover, so there is always a way back.
