Microsoft 365 & Exchange Migration Services in New Hampshire

True North IT Services is an IT consultancy based in Concord, New Hampshire that plans and performs email migrations to Microsoft 365 for small businesses across New Hampshire and the greater New England area. Whether you're moving off an aging on-premises Exchange server, leaving Google Workspace, or consolidating GoDaddy-hosted email, we handle the entire migration — assessment, planning, data transfer, cutover, and post-migration support — so your team keeps working and your mail keeps flowing.

Migrations we handle

• On-premises Exchange to Microsoft 365 — retire your Exchange server and move mailboxes, shared mailboxes, and distribution groups to Exchange Online, including proper hybrid configuration and server decommissioning.
• Google Workspace (Gmail) to Microsoft 365 — mail, contacts, and calendars moved over with folder structures intact.
• GoDaddy Microsoft 365 to a standard tenant — break free of the GoDaddy-managed tenant and take full control of your Microsoft 365 environment.
• IMAP/POP and other hosts — migrations from legacy or ISP-hosted email systems.
• Tenant-to-tenant moves — for mergers, spin-offs, and rebrands.

How a migration with us works

1. Free assessment

We inventory your mailboxes, domains, DNS, and any connected systems (copiers, scanners, line-of-business apps that send mail), and flag anything that could complicate the move. You get a fixed quote and a realistic timeline.

2. Preparation

We set up your Microsoft 365 tenant correctly from day one: licensing that fits your team, security baselines, multifactor authentication, and spam filtering — not just a default install.

3. Background sync

Mailbox data copies to Microsoft 365 while everyone keeps working in the old system. No downtime, nothing to notice.

4. Cutover

Scheduled for an evening or weekend. We redirect mail flow, verify every mailbox, and reconfigure Outlook and mobile devices so Monday morning feels normal.

5. Post-migration support

We stay available the following week to catch stragglers — a phone that won't sync, a scanner that stopped emailing — and we properly decommission the old system once you're confident.

Why a local partner instead of a remote-only migration service?

A migration touches every desk in your office. Being based in Concord means we can be on site for the cutover, reconfigure devices in person, and answer the phone when someone's Outlook misbehaves the next morning. You work directly with the consultant doing the migration — not a ticket queue.

Frequently asked questions

How long does a Microsoft 365 migration take?

For most small businesses, the full project runs one to two weeks: a few days of assessment and preparation, background syncing while you keep working, and a cutover scheduled for an evening or weekend. The cutover itself — the only part your team notices — is typically measured in hours, not days.

Will we lose email during the migration?

No. Mail is synced to Microsoft 365 before the cutover, and mail flow is redirected only once everything is verified. Your existing mail, folders, contacts, and calendars come along, and incoming mail continues to be delivered throughout.

Can you migrate us from Google Workspace or GoDaddy email?

Yes — on-premises Exchange, Google Workspace, GoDaddy-hosted Microsoft 365, generic IMAP/POP hosts, and tenant-to-tenant Microsoft 365 moves are all migrations we perform regularly.

What happens to our old Exchange server?

Once mail flow is confirmed on Microsoft 365 and a retention window has passed, we decommission the old server properly — removing it from your domain cleanly so it doesn't cause directory or mail-routing problems later.

How much does it cost?

It depends on the number of mailboxes, the source system, and how much cleanup the environment needs. Every migration starts with a free assessment and a fixed quote before any work begins — no surprises.
