Challenges
N-Able Worcester’s deputy manager describes the challenge that they faced below:
“We needed to ensure we were running a secure system as we hold personal details. We also needed to set up a ‘shared file’ system for our staff to either just have access to or upload files safely and securely.
It was important for someone to understand our specific needs as we run very differently from a school. Also, to have a flexible approach to working with us – and patience (we are not the most tech-savvy team!). Being local to us was also important so that we can have the support when we need it.”
The Solution
Education Host has worked closely with N-Able Worcester to provide the solution to best suit their needs. Migrating emails from IMAP to Exchange 365, setting up users on the company active directory and moving from Google Drive to OneDrive.
By leveraging industry-leading tools such as Microsoft 365, users within N-able can access software to support the business best.
Once Microsoft 365 had been set up, Education Host set up user emails locally. It became apparent that migrating old emails would be an important part of the solution, which Education Host resolved and migrated all ‘old’ emails from their IMAP server.
