Yes. We move departments in waves, mostly outside working hours, with a support team ready on the first day of each wave.
Seattle Solutions
Best Collaboration and modern workplace company in Seattle
Email, meetings, files and chat with information protection and migrations that keep every record. Hosn Al Tomoh works with organisations in Seattle on workplace platforms, agreeing scope, responsibilities and proof of completion for each phase from the start.
Workplace platforms such as Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace carry email, meetings, files and chat for the whole organisation. The work covers identity, information protection, retention, and moving mailboxes and file shares without losing records.
We work with clients across the Middle East and beyond. For organisations in Seattle, that usually means a programme with a Gulf footprint: we plan for your home-market data protection rules and for the GCC laws, such as the UAE and Saudi personal data protection laws, that apply where systems and data will sit.
Before go-live, we run a full rehearsal of the cutover with the team who will operate the service, and agree in advance how problems will be escalated in the first weeks after launch.
Where you already work with systems integrators or vendors, we can deliver in partnership with them, with each party's responsibilities written into the contract.
Where the effort goes
We concentrate on the points below, because that is where the work usually stumbles.
- Sensitivity labels and sharing rules that match your data classification.
- Retention and legal hold settings agreed with records management.
- Migration waves planned around the business calendar, with support on day one.
What we check first
Most issues come from sharing that is too open or migrations that drop permissions. We review external sharing and file permissions before migration and test them again after each wave.
At the end of each phase we provide the proof your risk and audit teams need to file: test results, access reviews and signed handover documents.
Before you start
Practical questions from IT and procurement teams.
Each phase is scoped and priced separately, with the team, the deliverables and the acceptance criteria written down, and you receive an itemised quote before work starts.
Your team, unless you choose managed services. We name who is responsible for each component before launch, hand over the runbooks and train your people.
How the work runs
Four stages, each with clear criteria for moving to the next.
Discover
We document the current set-up, the people involved and the constraints, and agree what success looks like.
Design and plan
We set the target design, phases, test approach and acceptance criteria, and review them with your architects and risk team.
Build and test in stages
We deliver in increments, testing and demonstrating each one before the next begins.
Hand over
We hand over runbooks, train your team and support the launch, then formally transfer responsibility to the people you nominate.
