Office 365 Migration

Hence, while using Gmail, they were finding difficulties in sharing the data efficiently. The client wanted to avoid the cost of extra storage that Google charged so the help of IT support services professionals at HIOD IT were sought. Based in Melbourne, our cloud computing services professionals specialise in ​cloud processing services and other ​IT services such as managed IT services​.

During this project, the following challenges were considered and encountered. Our cloud computing and IT support services professionals were experienced in Office 365 migration and handled the challenges of this project with ease.
