Moving your business to the cloud doesn’t have to be complicated or risky. R5I Support provides complete cloud migration services for small businesses in the Phoenix Metro area. We handle everything from planning to execution, ensuring your data is safely transferred and your team is trained on the new systems.

Why Move to the Cloud?

Cloud-based tools like Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace offer significant advantages for small businesses:

  • Work from Anywhere: Access your files, email, and applications from any device with an internet connection.
  • Automatic Backups: Cloud providers automatically back up your data, protecting you from local hardware failures.
  • Reduced IT Costs: Eliminate the need to maintain expensive on-premise servers and software licenses.
  • Enhanced Collaboration: Share documents and collaborate in real-time with your team.
  • Enterprise Security: Benefit from security features typically only available to large corporations.

Our Migration Process

1. Assessment and Planning

We start with a thorough assessment of your current infrastructure:

  • Inventory of all email accounts, mailboxes, and storage
  • Analysis of file server structure and permissions
  • Identification of legacy applications that need consideration
  • Bandwidth and connectivity evaluation
  • Custom migration timeline based on your business needs

2. Preparation

Before any data moves, we prepare your new environment:

  • Set up your cloud tenant (Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace)
  • Configure custom domain and DNS records
  • Create user accounts and security groups
  • Plan folder structure and sharing permissions
  • Prepare training materials for your team

3. Migration Execution

We perform the actual migration during off-hours to minimize disruption:

  • Staged migration of mailboxes with zero data loss
  • Parallel file sync to prevent workflow interruption
  • Verification of all migrated data
  • Testing of email flow and file access
  • Rollback plan in case of any issues

4. Training and Handoff

Your team gets hands-on training with the new tools:

  • Live training sessions for staff
  • Quick reference guides for common tasks
  • Administrator training for IT contacts
  • 30-day post-migration support included

Supported Platforms

We migrate to and from a variety of platforms:

Destination Platforms:

  • Microsoft 365 (Exchange Online, OneDrive, SharePoint, Teams)
  • Google Workspace (Gmail, Drive, Docs, Meet)
  • Hybrid configurations (on-premise + cloud)

Source Platforms:

  • On-premise Exchange Server
  • POP/IMAP email accounts
  • Local file servers (Windows, Linux, NAS)

Case Study — Auto Repair Shop

A local auto repair shop with 8 employees was struggling with an aging email server that frequently went offline. Customer appointment confirmations were being missed, leading to scheduling conflicts and frustrated customers.

We migrated them to Microsoft 365 with:

  • All 8 mailboxes with 5 years of email history preserved
  • Shared calendar for appointment scheduling
  • OneDrive for each employee to store documents
  • Teams for internal communication

Results:

  • Zero email downtime since migration
  • 40% reduction in missed appointments
  • Staff can now check email from their phones
  • Automatic backups eliminated data loss concerns

How long does a cloud migration take?

Timeline depends on data volume

Tap to reveal answer

Most small business migrations (under 20 users) complete in 1-2 weeks. This includes planning, data transfer, testing, and training. Larger organizations or those with extensive email history may take 3-4 weeks.

Will we lose any emails during migration?

Zero data loss guaranteed

Tap to reveal answer

No. We use enterprise-grade migration tools that preserve every email, attachment, and folder structure. We also maintain backups of your original data until you confirm everything transferred successfully.

Can employees work during the migration?

Minimal disruption to daily operations

Tap to reveal answer

Yes! We use staged migration approaches where data syncs in the background while you continue working. The only brief interruption is when we switch your email routing, which typically takes less than an hour.

Do our email addresses change?

Your addresses stay the same

Tap to reveal answer

No. Your email addresses (like [email protected]) remain exactly the same. Your customers and contacts won't notice any difference—only you'll notice the improved features and reliability.

What about our old emails and contacts?

Complete history preserved

Which is better: Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace?

Both are excellent choices

Both platforms are reliable and feature-rich. Microsoft 365 is ideal if you need desktop Office apps (Word, Excel) or already use Windows. Google Workspace excels at real-time collaboration and has a simpler interface. We can help you choose based on your specific needs.
