The County of Grey, situated two hours north of Toronto Ontario, was looking for a trusted partner to support them with their Exchange migration.

 

CHALLENGES

Grey County was looking for a on-premise email migration that included a tenant move. With a small IT department, they knew that they needed help to help get deployed.

Softlanding was chosen because of their status as a strategic Microsoft partner and their long history successfully implementing exchange migrations.

SOLUTION

Softlanding is a long-established leader in deploying, migrating and supporting Microsoft messaging platforms. The solution for Grey County was easy – to hybridize and then migrate their organization to the cloud.

Softlanding set up the environment and made sure the hybridization process was in place. Finally, Softlanding worked closely with the Grey County IT team to train them on how to complete migrations alongside some basic tenant administration. Training was also completed on the configuration of Office365, and changes made to both the Office365 tenant as a whole and Exchange specifically to drive effortless collaboration.
