On-Premises Exchange Migration is the process of moving email, calendars, contacts, and related data from a locally hosted Exchange server to Microsoft 365 while maintaining mail flow, security, and user access.

Migrating reduces infrastructure costs, improves security, enables remote access, and provides a scalable, cloud-ready messaging platform. It also simplifies management with automatic updates and built-in compliance features.

DEV IT, a Microsoft and Azure Partner, follows a structured approach using hybrid coexistence, identity synchronization, secure mail flow configuration, and our proprietary Fortify solution for threat protection and compliance monitoring.

Migration duration depends on mailbox size, number of users, and environment complexity. DEV IT designs phased migration plans to minimize downtime and ensure business continuity throughout the process.
