Microsoft 365
Cloud Migration Ottawa
Migrate to Microsoft 365 with an Ottawa team that plans the cutover, protects your data, and keeps your staff productive through every phase of the move.
What we migrate to Microsoft 365
We help Ottawa businesses move email, files, identities, and collaboration workloads into a secure Microsoft 365 environment without turning migration week into chaos.
Exchange Online & Teams
Exchange Server or third-party email to Microsoft 365, including mailboxes, shared mailboxes, calendars, contacts, distribution lists, Teams rollout, and end-user cutover support.
SharePoint, OneDrive & File Servers
On-premises file servers to SharePoint, OneDrive, or Azure Files. We map permissions, preserve structure, and design a landing zone your staff can actually use on day one.
Microsoft 365 Tenant Architecture
We design the target Microsoft 365 environment around your licensing, security posture, device management, and retention requirements before data starts moving.
Active Directory & Entra ID
We migrate identities from on-premises Active Directory to Microsoft Entra ID, configure sync or cloud-only models, and set up conditional access, MFA, and SSO for core business apps.
Legacy File, VPN & Collaboration Workflows
We replace brittle shared drives, legacy VPN dependence, and disconnected collaboration tools with a cleaner Microsoft 365 workflow built around Teams, SharePoint, and secure remote access.
Our Microsoft 365 migration process
A practical five-step process for Ottawa businesses that need a secure Microsoft 365 migration, a clear rollback plan, and a team that knows how to manage change properly.
Discovery & Assessment
We review mail flow, file storage, identities, devices, line-of-business apps, and permission structures so the Microsoft 365 migration plan reflects your real environment, not a best-case fantasy.
Architecture & Planning
We define the target Microsoft 365 architecture, licensing, SharePoint structure, security controls, retention needs, and cutover schedule before anything moves.
Pilot Migration
We migrate a pilot group first, validate Exchange, Teams, SharePoint, OneDrive, permissions, and device behaviour, then fix edge cases before full deployment.
Full Migration
We execute the production cutover in phases, monitor the move closely, manage communication with your staff, and keep rollback options ready if anything behaves unexpectedly.
Optimization & Support
After cutover, we handle cleanup, optimization, user support, training, and policy hardening so your Microsoft 365 environment is adopted properly and stays secure.
Why Cloud Collective
for Microsoft 365 migration in Ottawa
- Microsoft migration depth — we've handled legacy Exchange, hybrid identity, inherited file shares, and messy permissions structures that most teams underestimate.
- Security-first planning — MFA, conditional access, identity hygiene, retention planning, and access review are built into the migration, not bolted on later.
- Minimal disruption cutovers — phased migration windows, pilot testing, communication plans, and rollback options keep your team working while the move happens.
- Post-migration adoption support — we help staff adjust to Teams, SharePoint, OneDrive, and new sign-in workflows so the platform actually gets used properly.
- Ottawa, ON delivery team — local support matters when stakeholder meetings, device cutovers, and executive handholding need to happen in real time.
- Canadian business context — we can align the migration plan with data residency expectations, public sector procurement realities, bilingual user support needs, and the operational realities of Ottawa professional services firms.
