Licensing
There are several different licenses to choose from, whether you’re a small/medium business or a large enterprise can determine whether you want to go with different licenses. Below we talk about some of these differences, but our sales team is always available to assist with this decision.

There are several other licenses available from the Microsoft Office 365 ecosystem, these are the ones that we feel meet the majority of people’s requirements. If you have any questions or need other licensing types, Aventis Systems can help with those as well.

Migration
Migrating email systems can be frustrating if you aren’t familiar with the process. Reading migration forums and going through various online documentation will leave you feeling overwhelmed. Let us help with that. We have a proven process that is repeatable and quick.

Our process in 3 short steps:

• Discovery
• Migrate
• Finalize

Discovery is needed to determine how your existing environment looks, your current email accounts, groups, distribution lists, shared mailboxes, and much more. We will at this stage also require access to your existing environment with administrative credentials, and we’ll also ask you to ensure you have your public DNS logins handy, as we’ll need those at the end of the migration. If you don’t have a Microsoft Office 365 tenant already, we’ll configure and apply the licenses during this phase as well.

Migrate happens after we get a good understanding of your environment. We use a tool that will read your existing mailboxes and transfer all your older emails to Office 365. This all happens in the background and is the longest part as there are several determining factors that make mail copy faster or not. Additionally as part of this phase we’ll help with communication to your employees on what will happen next and have them install a small application on their computers to help with Outlook reconfiguration.

Finalize and we’re done! This is the last step in the migration process. We tidy up, copy over all the remaining emails, change your mail records for your domain, and run our finalization settings on your employee Outlook profiles. Once we finalize the migration, mail no longer goes to your old email servers and you’re now fully running on Office 365! Aventis Systems can even help with retiring your old email servers as an additional service.

Support
After migration, everyone needs extra support. It’s a new system, and there are bound to be questions that arise. Aventis Systems is here to help during our normal business hours. We can help answer questions quicker than traditional Microsoft Office 365 support. Our team of experts can help with configuration questions, how to setup more advanced settings, and any other questions you can think of for Microsoft Office 365.
