FAQ
Questions we hear
Can you migrate from Lotus Notes?
Yes. We have moved users from Lotus Domino and Exchange at the same time, with a relay that delivers each user’s mail to wherever their mailbox currently is.
Do you run our Microsoft 365 tenancy day to day?
We can under retained support, during business hours. Most clients keep day-to-day admin in house and call us for projects and hard problems.
Do you handle Intune and Autopilot?
We deploy Windows with MDT and SCCM today. Intune and Autopilot projects are scoped case by case.
