IT Partner
Microsoft FastTrack Migration Benefit

Move to Microsoft 365 — with the migration sponsored by Microsoft

Moving from Google Workspace or your own Exchange Server? Eligible organizations receive Microsoft FastTrack migration assistance at no additional professional-services cost. IT Partner plans, runs, and validates the whole engagement — with the scope confirmed in writing before anything begins.

Check your eligibility

Why it can cost you $0: Microsoft FastTrack is a benefit included with qualifying Microsoft 365 subscriptions — not a trial, rebate, or stripped-down DIY tool. We check what applies to you first.

Reviewed by a person — no obligation, no automated sales sequence. You'll get a plain-English answer: eligible, partially eligible, or not eligible — and why.

03 / Why Microsoft sponsors it

Why would Microsoft sponsor your migration?

You already haveYour eligible Microsoft 365 subscription
Which includesMicrosoft FastTrack benefit
Delivered asIT Partner-managed migration

Microsoft wants customers to successfully adopt the Microsoft 365 licenses they purchase. FastTrack is the onboarding and migration benefit Microsoft created to help qualifying customers make that transition — it's part of what an eligible subscription already includes.

Microsoft 365 licenses keep their normal subscription price. Work outside the confirmed FastTrack scope is quoted separately and never begins without your written approval.

04 / Your starting point

Two starting points. One controlled migration.

  • Gmail to Exchange Online
  • Contacts and calendars
  • Google Drive to OneDrive, when eligible and in scope
  • Staged synchronization and controlled cutover
  • Final pass and validation

05 / Scope, in the open

What's included — and what may be separate.

✓ Included in the eligible engagement

  • Readiness review of your current environment
  • Migration and cutover plan
  • Microsoft 365 destination preparation
  • User and mailbox mapping
  • Initial migration pass
  • Final synchronization
  • Mail-flow validation
  • Failed-item review and remediation
  • Status reporting
  • Project closeout report

○ Sometimes outside the sponsored scope

  • Microsoft 365 licenses themselves
  • End-user device and Outlook profile reconfiguration
  • Training and adoption programs
  • Google Sites, Forms, Vault, and special archives
  • Unsupported or encrypted source content
  • Exchange fixes or upgrades needed to meet prerequisites
  • Anything beyond the confirmed FastTrack scope

If anything falls outside the sponsored scope, you'll see it in writing — with a price — before deciding whether to proceed. No surprise invoice.

06 / Accountability

Microsoft sponsors it. IT Partner is accountable for it.

01/

A named engineer owns your migration.

One person, with a name and a direct line — not a rotating queue.

02/

A written scope defines what is and is not included.

Signed before work begins; the boundary is on paper, not in a pitch.

03/

Every migration pass is monitored and verified.

Failed items are reviewed and remediated, not silently skipped.

04/

Optional work becomes billable only after your approval.

In writing, with a price, before anything starts.

Sponsored doesn't mean self-service. You are not being handed a portal and a wish of good luck.

09 / Straight answers

The questions a CFO asks.

Adoption. Microsoft benefits when purchased licenses get used; FastTrack exists to remove the migration barrier.
No. Licenses keep their normal price; the sponsorship covers eligible migration services.
No upfront migration fees for eligible scope. Charges only arise from work outside the confirmed scope, always quoted in writing first.
Eligibility depends on your licensing, plan, workloads, and source environment, and Microsoft's rules change. That's what the check is for — we verify against current Microsoft requirements and tell you exactly where you stand.
Gmail, contacts, and calendars move to Exchange Online; Google Drive can move to OneDrive when eligible and in scope. Sites, Forms, Vault, and special archives don't migrate under the sponsored scope.
Your server needs to meet Microsoft's hybrid prerequisites and be on current updates. If it isn't, we tell you what remediation is needed — and what it costs — before anything starts.
Migration runs alongside your current platform with a staged sync; the cutover is scheduled and controlled, typically over a weekend or off-hours window.
A named IT Partner engineer, under a written scope, with the access documented. That engineer — not a queue — is who you call.
Then we tell you that plainly, and quote the same migration at our normal fixed price in writing. Many organizations hire us at that price; the check costs you nothing either way.
