Overview
Over a long-term engagement beginning in 2020, Vaycron has supported a UK recruitment business with the ongoing development and modernisation of its technology environment.
As part of this relationship, the organisation required a structured migration away from a GoDaddy-managed Microsoft 365 environment to a standard Microsoft 365 tenant, providing greater flexibility, improved administration and a stronger foundation for future security and cloud initiatives.
The challenge
The business was operating on a GoDaddy-managed Microsoft 365 environment after initially selecting the platform without fully understanding the differences between GoDaddy-managed Microsoft 365 and a standard Microsoft 365 tenant.
As the organisation grew, it began encountering administrative, security and scalability limitations that restricted future improvements and reduced flexibility.
- Administrative limitations within the GoDaddy-managed environment
- Reduced flexibility for Microsoft 365 management and security controls
- Requirement for a structured migration with minimal disruption
- 23 active user mailboxes requiring migration
- Over 100GB of business-critical mailbox data
- Requirement to improve Microsoft 365 security posture
- Future Cyber Essentials readiness requirements
The approach
Vaycron planned and delivered a structured Microsoft 365 modernisation programme focused on improving manageability, security and long-term scalability.
- Migration planning and project management
- Migration of 23 user mailboxes
- Migration of over 100GB of business-critical mailbox data
- Exchange Online configuration and optimisation
- Microsoft Entra ID improvements
- Security review and remediation
- Implementation of Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)
- Implementation of Microsoft Security Defaults
- DNS and mail flow management
- User validation and post-migration support
Technology involved
- Microsoft 365
- Exchange Online
- Microsoft Entra ID
- Outlook
- DNS Services
The outcome
The business successfully transitioned from a GoDaddy-managed Microsoft 365 environment to a fully managed Microsoft 365 tenant.
The migration provided greater administrative control, improved Microsoft 365 flexibility, enhanced security through MFA and Security Defaults, and a stronger foundation for future cloud initiatives.
The organisation now benefits from a modern Microsoft 365 platform capable of supporting future growth, security improvements and business transformation projects, with better alignment to Cyber Essentials readiness requirements.
