Link Group – Enhanced Productivity with O365

One of the largest social landlords in Scotland, Link Group is a group of award-winning social enterprise companies serving over 15,000 customers.

In order to take advantage of the full potential of the O365 portfolio of services Link made the decision to migrate from Google G-Suite.

Bridgeall were appointed to help Link Housing Group move from the Google G-Suite cloud solution and onto the Office 365 platform. This involved the migration of all mailboxes, Microsoft Teams implementation and governance as well as user/team data stores. Bridgeall established a migration farm hosted in Azure for the duration of the project where data was initially transferred and converted from Google to Microsoft format. All mailboxes for users and shared resources containing email, calendars and contacts were migrated in O365 exchange online. It was completed as a cutover migration for the entire organisation with around 800 users going live across a single weekend.
