Gary Bell
Founding Partner, FLB Accountants
“We’ve been a client of Air for almost a decade thanks to their consistent service and innovation. They always prioritise what’s best for our business. We needed a secure hybrid solution for employees working in the office, on site, or from home, with communications accessible across multiple platforms. After reviewing our requirements, Air recommended Microsoft 365 as the best solution to scale with us now and in the future. Having trusted Air for years, we were confident they could deliver on time. They even migrated our systems over a weekend to ensure no disruption. Microsoft 365’s integration with our CRM and other applications has streamlined operations and opened up new tools, like Microsoft Teams, which transformed our internal communications. Air guided us on integrating platforms and getting the most out of Microsoft 365. The migration was seamless, and their dedication meant everything was delivered on time without impacting our business. We couldn’t recommend them highly enough.”
The Challenge
FLB relied on a legacy Hosted Exchange platform that could not integrate with modern Microsoft services like Teams and OneDrive.
With a dispersed team working remotely across multiple devices, FLB needed a solution that enabled real-time collaboration, improved productivity, and future-proofed their IT systems.
Key Requirements
Modern email platform
Enhanced collaboration
System integration
Business continuity
The Outcome
By migrating to Microsoft 365, FLB’s email now resides in Microsoft’s secure, cloud-based environment, continually updated and equipped with advanced backup and security features. Our IT Consultants worked closely with key members of the FLB team, guiding them through the migration strategy and helping them get the most from the technology in daily operations.
The new solution provides FLB staff, partners, and associates with Microsoft’s collaborative Modern Workplace tools, including Teams for group conversations and video calls, SharePoint and OneDrive for secure file sharing, and the latest versions of Microsoft applications such as Word, Excel, and Outlook.
Since the migration, FLB has strengthened system integration with third-party SaaS applications, including CRM and accountancy software, ensuring all communications are captured at source.
The flexibility of Microsoft 365 allows the firm to adopt solutions that best suit their business needs, rather than being limited by server-based email. Cloud-based services also ensure critical systems remain available in the event of a disaster or local outage, providing greater business continuity and peace of mind.
