This involved the migration of all mailboxes, user and 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.

The organisation had an urgent requirement for a new Intranet to support its digital transformation journey.

Bridgeall successfully engaged with the internal Forest Research management team to deliver a Modern SharePoint Intranet including design, build, CMS, collaborative spaces, document management, governance, migration plan and post-launch support.
