Case Study: Exchange 2013 to Office 365 Migration

Overview

Leading Investment Wealth firm HFMC needed to modernise their legacy on-premise Exchange 2013 environment, in order to deliver enhanced functionality and superior productivity to their users.

As HFMC Wealth’s long-term strategic technology partner, Krome was instrumental in the recommendation, planning and phased hybrid implementation of the Office 365 migration.

In order to achieve a seamless, but staged migration for HFMC users, we configured a hybrid deployment between Exchange Server on-premises and Exchange Online using Azure Active Directory synchronisation to help with recipient administration.

In the Office 365 migration process, Krome migrated up to 140 mailboxes and implemented Veeam Cloud Backup for Microsoft Office to ensure their Office 365 data was securely protected.

The staff at HMFC Wealth have seen an increase in productivity because of the instant upgrades and access to new features, whilst being completely cost-efficient for combined licensing.

“All of these niggly little issues, things that we had been trying to find a fix for some time, all just seem to disappear once we had migrated. Office 365 is obviously constantly kept up to date by Microsoft, they are regularly patching issues or making enhancements, which has made a huge difference.” IT Manager, HFMC Wealth.
