What gets moved in a Microsoft 365 Tenant migration?

Here’s a quick look at what usually gets moved over during a Microsoft 365 tenant-to-tenant migration.

Mailboxes & Email Data

We migrate all your email content, including messages, calendars, contacts, and tasks. Any archived mail stored in In-Place Archives is also transferred. Where possible, we preserve your existing mailbox rules so your email functions just as it did before the migration.

OneDrive Files & Folders

All files, folders, and version histories from OneDrive for Business are securely moved to your new tenant. We maintain file permissions wherever possible and help you re-establish any external sharing links to keep collaboration seamless.

SharePoint Data

From site collections to document libraries, we transfer all SharePoint content, including pages, lists, and metadata. Permissions and group memberships are migrated, and we ensure any custom settings are properly restored in the new tenant.

Microsoft Teams Environment

We move your Teams structures, members, channels, and stored files so collaboration can continue without interruption. Standard channels are handled with ease, and we have proven methods for migrating private channels, chat history, and reconfiguring apps, tabs, and connectors.

Other Microsoft 365 Services

We also assist in transferring Planner boards, Power Automate flows, Power BI workspaces, Forms, Yammer communities, Bookings data, and Stream videos. Where automated migration isn’t possible, we guide you through export and recreation to keep everything in sync.

User Accounts and Security Settings

We recreate your Azure Active Directory accounts in the new tenant, assign licences, and configure your security settings — including multi-factor authentication, conditional access policies, and group memberships — so your team can log in and get working straight away.
