Client overview
Abelian is based in Palo Alto, California. Its 30-person team was moving from Google Workspace to Microsoft 365, and the business needed to keep running throughout.
What the engagement required
The move meant building a new Microsoft 365 environment, bringing every person's data across into new mailboxes, and consolidating the team onto one platform. It all had to be coordinated so that no one lost access, mail, or working time along the way.
How we ran the migration
- Built out the Microsoft 365 environment for the team
- Migrated all data into the new mailboxes
- Set up Microsoft Entra security policies before cutover
- Coordinated the transition and the consolidation so work continued without interruption
Results
- 30 people moved to Microsoft 365 with zero downtime
- All data migrated into the new mailboxes
- Entra security policies in place from day one
- A smooth transition for the whole team
The client’s review
John is the first person I've hired on Upwork who works harder than I do. Day or night, rain or shine, John was there to manage and execute on a complex migration project under time pressure. He asked great questions (read: asked from experience or did his research prior to asking to save us time) and always followed through on his recommendations that were accepted. 10/10 would recommend.
