## Requirement

A Non-For-Profit foundation approached Starboard IT for the migration of their email and data from Gsuite and Dropbox consolidating this into one platform, [Office 365](https://www.microsoft.com/en-au/microsoft-365).

The organisation were faced with the challenges of file duplication, multiple technical solutions spanning different platforms, slow data synchronisation and no security permissioning on their data store. Consequently, **cost was higher than necessary**, staff were unsure of the most effective use of platforms and there were inconsistent backup solutions.

Our technical team determined benefits and recommendations based on **consolidation with platform tools**. The approved solutions were implemented, with close consultation with the company. Starboard IT also provided a technology roadmap for immediate and future use. Onsite support and documentation was provided as well as training on new technologies to ensure a smooth transition.

Thorough pre-planning sessions allowed for implementation to occur quickly and without incident. **In just two weeks additional tools were applied increasing collaboration, reducing operations costs, improving communications and securing data.**
