The prospect of joining together – from an IT point of view – was daunting, but Air IT took care of the entire migration for us with minimal downtime. We are just beginning to realise the potential of what we can achieve with Office 365, and Air IT are guiding us to unlock that potential.

How we helped
Active Partners Trust presented a special set of circumstances – as two separate partnerships joining to become a single trust. Whilst Active Derbyshire had been part of Derbyshire County Council, Active Nottinghamshire had been part of Nottingham Trent University. This meant there was a wide variety of stakeholders that needed to be taken into consideration throughout.
Although the two partnerships were relocating into their own separate offices, they were to operate as one organisation. As such, they required a flexible, cloud-based IT infrastructure, running Office 365, allowing the two offices to communicate and collaborate with ease.
In managing the project, thorough discussion with all stakeholders was necessary, pre-Office 365 migration. Air IT liaised with all parties in the planning process, supplying all requested accreditation, and ensured adherence to all policies on the extraction of systems and data.
Active Partners Trust only owned its own laptops, so we designed a cloud-integrated IT infrastructure around them – enhancing productivity and facilitating remote collaboration.
We set up a new Microsoft 365 tenancy for the organisation, with access to key cloud services such as file sharing and email.
Active Partners Trust is now fully supported by our Managed IT Support and IT Security Services. This ensures a proactively maintained and, importantly, protected IT infrastructure that keeps the two offices well-connected.
