Let us take care of the IT support and troubleshoot during the migration/setup remotely/on-site.
Our setup usually involves initiating domain transfer-in to our registrar.
Once in, we will create and a tenant and verify your domain with Office 365.
We will configure all required DNS records, configure your email accounts on Microsoft portal.
We will also guide/assist your users remotely to setup Outlook for Office 365. (Note this service does not provide on-site support. All setup are to be done via remote management tools like Anydesk)
Once done we will switch the MX records to Microsoft and let the DNS propagation complete over the weekend.
By Monday of subsequent week, your email switch should be completed and mails will start coming in via Microsoft server.
You can leave the old mail server running for a week then terminate the service completely.
