ITEGY-Distinctive Technology Services offers email migration services to Office 365. We take care of all the hard work moving your email data, and at each step, we'll message you and your email users with reminders, plus any instructions required to complete the transition.
If you've set up your Outlook client with POP email settings, you and your users are required to download and install the Outlook Migration Assistant in order to migrate any local data. The assistant will copy your client configurations and prepare each desktop with those existing settings. Be sure your computers/users all meet the requirements.
In order to begin your migration to Office 365, you need to contact a ITEGY-Distinctive Technology Services
Office 365 setup requires proof you own your domain by entering a TXT record on the domain DNS. We'll send you the instructions to update your DNS by email. It's important to get this done as early as possible or your migration may be delayed. This change won't interrupt your current email service.
Note: If you already set up your Office 365 accounts prior to contacting
Note: If you're migrating from ITEGY-Distinctive Technology Services Workspace Email, you don't have to enter your current email passwords. We already have everything we need to handle this part, and you don't need to provide any extra details or passwords to proceed.
Be sure you and your end users are qualified to use this program by going over the requirements. If you're not eligible, you might not get all of your data.
To make the migration process smoother, and allow us to move even more of your data and settings, we recommend that you and your email users download and install the Outlook Migration Assistant before your scheduled upgrade date. The assistant is only available for Windows PC users.
If the qualified users download and install the program prior to the migration date, the Outlook Migration Assistant does the following for them:
The account holder will receive daily reports on the Outlook Migration Assistant downloads by your email users. We highly recommend that everyone (who can) downloads and installs the assistant as early in the process as possible.
Anyone unable to use the Outlook Migration Assistant will need to manually move any local content and set up their client manually. We'll send instructions to these users on the migration date. Mac users and those without Outlook already set up can't use the Outlook Migration Assistant.
On the date and time of your choosing, you'll be ready to start using Office 365. You'll need to change your DNS settings to point to Office 365 before using your new email.
These settings are emailed to you 8 hours prior to the migration, so if you need to take steps to prepare with your DNS provider, be ready to give them these DNS instructions. If your domain and DNS are with ITEGY-Distinctive Technology Services, we'll make these changes for you.
If you downloaded the Outlook Migration Assistant, the DNS will need to be updated in order for the assistant to finish setting up your Outlook client.
When you start using your email, almost all of the data will be there, but it's possible that you’ll be missing some of your newer emails. Once you begin using Office 365, you'll want to allow for up to 48 hours while we sync final emails from your previous email server to your new Office 365 account.
We'll continue to monitor your old email accounts for up to 72 hours in case there are any emails misrouted during the transition.
Enjoy your upgrade to Office 365!
