The short answer
Moving business email shouldn't lose a single message. WaTo Consulting migrates Adelaide businesses to Microsoft 365, Google Workspace or between platforms, bringing mail, calendars, contacts and folders across in full, usually outside business hours, and updating MX, SPF, DKIM and DMARC records. Addresses stay the same, and most small business moves take a day or two.
What is email migration?
Email migration is moving your business email (messages, calendars, contacts and sometimes files) from one system to another. That might mean moving from an old on-site server to Microsoft 365, switching from Google Workspace to Office 365 (or the other way), or shifting off a basic webmail host to something more capable. Done properly, your team barely notices the change. Done badly, email disappears and the phone stops ringing. We do it properly.
What we handle
On-site to cloud migration
Moving from an old Exchange server, POP/IMAP host or on-site mail to Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace.
Platform-to-platform moves
Switching between Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace, or between any two email platforms.
Full mailbox migration
Email, calendars, contacts and folder structures transferred across in full, with nothing left behind.
Domain & DNS cutover
MX records, SPF, DKIM and DMARC updated correctly so email delivers reliably from day one.
Minimal-downtime scheduling
Migrations run outside business hours where possible, so your team isn't sitting around waiting.
Post-migration support
We stick around after the move to sort any issues and make sure everything's landed properly.
Who it's for
- Businesses on an old email server that's overdue for retirement.
- Anyone switching between Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace.
- Offices on a basic webmail host who want proper business email with calendar and contact sync.
- Businesses that tried to migrate themselves and ended up with missing mail or broken delivery.
How it works
- A quick chat. We find out where your email lives now and where it needs to go.
- A migration plan. We map out the move (mailboxes, domains, DNS and timing) so nothing's left to chance.
- We move everything. Mail, calendars and contacts migrated in full, usually outside business hours.
- DNS cutover. Domain records updated so new email flows to the right place from the moment of switchover.
- Post-migration check. We verify everything's landed, test delivery and stick around until your team's comfortable.

Email migration questions
Will we lose any email during the move?
No. We migrate your full mailbox history (every message, calendar entry and contact) and we keep a copy of the source until you've confirmed everything's in place.
How long does a migration take?
Most small business migrations are done in a day or two, scheduled around your hours. Larger or more complex moves might take a bit longer, but we'll give you a clear timeline upfront.
Can you move us from Google to Microsoft (or the other way)?
Yes, both directions. We handle platform-to-platform migrations regularly, and mail, calendars and contacts all come across.
Will our email address change?
Not unless you want it to. We move your domain across so your email addresses stay exactly the same.
